简要总结
The proposed study is a single-center, single-blind three-group randomized (1:1:1) controlled trial (RCT) comparing two hypnosis interventions to waitlist control efficacy for MS-related fatigue.
详细描述
This project will test the efficacy of two different hypnosis approaches for improving MS-related fatigue that have shown to be beneficial for individuals with cancer and other medical conditions in the management of their symptoms. One of these methods, the active-alert hypnosis has helped people to manage fatigue and may have important advantages over the more traditional relaxation hypnotic approaches in the treatment of fatigue, since the hypnotic inductions and the self-hypnosis methods use activation instead of relaxation. Therefore, the goals of this study are to determine if a comparison study of these two hypnotic conditions is feasible, and, if so, to determine which treatment may be more effective for helping individuals with MS gain more control over fatigue. Additionally, it will explore the mechanisms of these two approaches to hypnosis treatment to determine which might be most helpful to individuals with MS and fatigue.

盲法说明
Research assistant administering the telephone assessments is blinded to participant treatment intervention while the clinician conducting the treatment sessions is blinded to participant responses provided during telephone assessments. The only instance where we may unblind staff members to assessment or treatment data (depending on what the staff member is responsible for) will be at the end of the study, after data collection has been completed. At that point, the staff member conducting telephone assessments may be allowed to know which interventions participants were assigned to, and the clinician conducting treatment sessions may be allowed to access assessment data if a staff member were to assist in data cleaning or data analysis. Participants are blind to study hypotheses and will not be told which intervention is expected to yield what results. Participants may be unblinded if/when we disseminate findings (e.g., in a published manuscript) related to this study.
