Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Muscle Disease (ACTMus): protocol for a two-arm randomised controlled trial of a brief guided self-help ACT programme for improving quality of life in people with muscle diseases
Overview
This paper outlines the protocol for a two-arm randomized controlled trial evaluating a guided self-help Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) program for adults with muscle disease. The study aims to assess whether adding ACT to standard medical care improves quality of life, mood, and function compared to standard care alone. It targets participants with mild to moderate anxiety or depression recruited from UK clinics and support organizations.
