Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The entire study is done remotely by computer, tablet, or smartphone with a web camera and with a stable internet connection. Subjects will be enrolled into closed, private, health-coach facilitated online support groups called eSupport Health Weekly Group Sessions. These sessions are hosted on eSupport Health's proprietary Zoom-based secure HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. Each group is expected to have 10 participants and will meet weekly for 12 weeks. A licensed therapist ("Study Coach") leads the group sessions. The company's Mutual Respect \& Trust (MRT)-based coaching method is utilized.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
PwMS eSupport Groups
12-weeks active treatment of eSupport Health's Weekly Group Sessions, a formal semi-structured program of psychoeducational support delivered in a small group format by licensed therapists who specialize in MS. The active treatment period will follow a 12-week waitlist period that will be used to enable a within-subject control design. Note that the very first group enrolled (N\~10) will not have a 12-week waitlist period but will instead enter directly into the 12-week treatment.
