All participants continued to receive local standard care comprising general advice and information about MS-related fatigue (including its characteristics, contributory factors and ways to reduce its impact). This would typically take the form of provision of information leaflets alongside tips for fatigue management (such as keeping active, keeping cool, conserving energy) from a member of the clinical team.

Abstract Background Fatigue is a disabling symptom of multiple sclerosis (MS). The lack of effective therapeutics has promoted the development of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)-based fatigue management programmes. However, their efficacy does not sustain over time. We proposed to test the long-term effectiveness of a 6-week fatigue programme supplemented with four booster sessions (‘FACETS+’) in patients with relapsing remitting MS (RRMS) and fatigue.

Abstract Homelessness is a multifactorial issue, influenced by structural and individual factors. These factors include health status, which has been reported to be poorer among people experiencing homelessness. Although the somatic and mental health of homeless individuals has already been studied in France, to our knowledge, no research has been conducted on neuropsychological functioning in this country.
