Trial Outcomes & Findings for Improving Prospective Memory Via Telehealth (NCT NCT05129293)

NCT ID: NCT05129293

Last Updated: 2024-10-18

Results Overview

Performance on objective prospective memory (overall performance). The MIST Total Score is calculated by summing the raw scores from the six subscales, which is transformed into percentiles using age- and education-stratified normative data. Scores ranged from \<1 9 (coded as 0 for analyses) to \>99 (coded as 100 for analyses), with higher scores indicating better prospective memory performance.

Measure
Prospective Memory Intervention
Participants randomized to the PM intervention (active group) will meet with an interventionist twice a week for four weeks. The first four sessions will focus on visual imagery, while the last four sessions will focus on implementation intentions. Participants will be led through a manualized treatment. Prospective Memory Intervention: Cognitive remediation focusing on prospective memory
Educational
The control group (Education) will meet with a research assistant for the same frequency of sessions and will receive psychoeducation on MS and cognitive functioning. The interventionists will be following a manual and accompanying PowerPoint slides. Educational: Psychoeducation

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Six weeks

Subjective prospective memory. The five items in the subscale are summed, with scores ranging between 0 and 20. Higher scores indicate more subjective prospective memory issues.
