“…The majority of trials (9 out of 13) required a neurologist-confirmed MS diagnosis and were offered to all PwMS (8 out of 13). One trial only included those with clinical levels of depression [16][17][18], 2 trials prescreened for fatigue [19][20][21], 1 pre-screened for either low mood or anxiety [22], and another screened for either low mood, chronic pain, or fatigue [23]. Depression was the most common primary outcome (k = 6) [16,[23][24][25][26][27].…”

Background: Psychosocial interventions are often used as an adjunct to the medical management of multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the efficacy of such approaches for a range of psychosocial indications remains unclear. Objective: To determine the efficacy of psychosocial therapies for people with MS (PwMS). Methods: We searched 6 electronic databases (Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CINAHL, and Clinicaltrials.gov) until April 21, 2016, for randomized controlled trials reporting the effect of psychological interventions for depressive symptoms, anxiety, pain, fatigue, or health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in PwMS. Results: The search yielded 356 articles with 13 included studies (n = 1,617). Benefits of psychological interventions were found for depressive symptoms (Cohen’s d = 0.281), anxiety (d = 0.285), fatigue (d = 0.228), and mental (d = 0.398) and total HRQoL (d = 0.444), but not physical HRQoL. There were insufficient studies to meta-analyze posttreatment outcomes for pain. Interventions were more effective for HRQoL for patients with relapsing-remitting MS and when treatment doses were larger. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) was not efficacious for PwMS when considered alone. Conclusion: Psychosocial interventions have a significant, positive impact across a range of outcomes for PwMS with small, yet consistent, effect sizes. There was some indication that CBT was less efficacious than other interventions. However, this may be due to smaller treatment doses in CBT studies.

“…In light of the success of telephone-administered interventions for improving various MSassociated symptoms and quality of life [76][77][78][79][80], several studies have examined (or will examine) whether interactive telehealth interventions can improve MS-associated anxiety, cognitive function, mood, fatigue, impact, pain, quality of life, and sleep quality [81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88].…”

However, with the exception of one study [14], most were small and preliminary with little or no follow up, and all failed to examine Harrison, A. M., McCracken, L.

“…There is preliminary evidence that adjunctive treatments for MS pain based on traditional Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) may be helpful in MS pain [12][13][14][15]. Treatment delivery methods in these studies have ranged from a half-day workshop to a ten week group programme.…”
