About this trial
In the sponsor's words
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the brain and spinal cord, often leading to unpredictable symptoms and significant emotional distress. Many people with MS experience anxiety, depression, and difficulties in coping with the challenges of the disease. Research has shown that effective coping-especially problem-focused coping-can reduce psychological distress and improve quality of life. However, access to psychological care can be limited, particularly in low-resource or mobility-restricted settings.This study, conducted at the Nehme and Therese Tohme Multiple Sclerosis Center at the American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC), evaluated the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of an eight-week, online psychological intervention designed to enhance problem-solving and coping strategies in adults with MS living in Lebanon.The primary objective was to determine whether an online problem-solving coping strategies (PCS) intervention is feasible, acceptable, and well-tolerated for people with MS. The secondary objective was to assess the intervention's preliminary effects on problem-focused coping, depression, and anxiety.
