About this trial
In the sponsor's words
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) has a wide range of physiological and neuropsychological symptoms. Over 75% of MS patients complain about fatigue, which for many is one of their most debilitating symptoms, having a substantial impact on their quality of life and ability to carry out day-to-day tasks. Previous investigations on the effectiveness of different types of psychotherapy on MS fatigue are extremely limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the added value of cognition-targeted exercise versus symptom-targeted exercise for Multiple Sclerosis fatigue
