Reduced mental health, including stress, anxiety and depression, and functional difficulties such as fatigue and cognition issues affect many people living with MS. However, access to effective psychological treatments is often challenging.Â
This research study aims to increase access to psychological care by developing, evaluating and implementing psychological treatment programs for people with MS that can be delivered remotely. Several proof-of-concept clinical trials of this treatment approach have shown encouraging results.
The proposed study aims to take this research to the next phase and explore the effectiveness, acceptability and safety of this treatment approach in the real world, including when delivered via a hospital-based MS clinic. This will address current knowledge gaps and allow the development of new and effective treatments approaches for Australians with MS needing psychological care.
