A randomised controlled trial of acceptance and commitment therapy plus usual care compared to usual care alone for improving psychological health in people with motor neuron disease (COMMEND): study protocol
Overview
This study protocol outlines a randomized controlled trial evaluating the clinical and cost-effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combined with usual care versus usual care alone for individuals with motor neuron disease. The research aims to improve psychological health, specifically focusing on quality of life, depression, anxiety, and psychological flexibility among patients recruited from UK clinics. The resource describes the trial design, participant criteria, and outcome measures but does not present final results or clinical recommendations.
