In the sponsor's words
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to study is to test the feasibility and effects of a virtual (remote) version of a cognitive rehabilitation intervention - Memory, Attention, and Problem Solving Skills for Persons with MS (MAPSS-MS). We have already tested this intervention "in person" and found it to be effective at helping persons with MS improve their cognitive function learn. We are now testing the MAPSS-MS intervention using a virtual or remote format. The main questions this pilot study aims to answer are: 1. What is the feasibility of the Virtual MAPSS-MS intervention 2. Compared with persons in the wait list control group, will persons receiving the Virtual MAPSS-MS intervention have better overall neurocognitive function and 3. ) Compared with persons in the wait list control group, will persons receiving the Virtual MAPSS-MS intervention have improved stress, self-efficacy for cognitive everyday tasks, use of compensatory strategies and improved depressive symptoms, fatigue, sleep and pain. Participants will be asked to take part in the MAPSS-MS intervention virtually and complete surveys and cognitive tests online at three time points: before the eight-week intervention, immediately after the intervention and six-weeks after the intervention. The virtual MAPSS-MS has two components (a) Group sessions via zoom with an expert leader and (b) a computer assisted brain games (Brain HQ) program. The eight online group sessions (2 hours once per week) will address common cognitive concerns experienced by persons with MS and strategies that may be helpful. Participants will also be provided access to Brain HQ, a computerized training program, and asked to practice these games for 20-30 minutes on 5 or 6 days per week.
