About this trial
In the sponsor's words
Given the lack of evidence in support of pacing self-management for patients with musltiple sclerosis (MS), it is examined whether physical behavior and health status of patients with MS improve in response to a pacing self-management program. The effects of pacing will be compared with those observed when applying relaxation therapy to patients with MS.
