Determining the feasibility and acceptability of a randomized telehealth pilot study for veterans with chronic multisymptom illness.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The shift toward a patient-centered and whole health care model offers a promising approach for the management of symptoms among veterans with chronic multisymptom illness (CMI). A behavioral intervention aimed at reducing cognitive control dysregulation which is a component of impairments common among veterans with CMI may be helpful. Therefore, a pilot study was conducted to explore the feasibility, safety, and acceptability of a telehealth mental and physical (MAP) training intervention among veterans with CMI.
