About this trial
In the sponsor's words
This study is an enhancement of the Fatigue Management Programs for People with MS study (NCT03550170). The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of two interventions delivered remotely to support unpaid caregivers (UC) of people with multiple sclerosis (MS). We hypothesize that a high resource intervention will be significantly better than a lower resource intervention in terms of the primary outcome (UC anxiety, depression, and stress) and secondary outcome (COVID specific anxiety).
