DiscussionThe aim of this study was to determine whether a blended booster programme could prevent fatigue relapse and improve long term effects of CBT for MS-related fatigue. No significant effect of the booster programme was found on fatigue severity and secondary outcomes at 1-year follow-up. Since fatigue severity did not increase in both conditions during the follow-up period, this study also indicates that wearing off of the positive effect of CBT on fatigue did not occur.

Strengths and limitationsConducting this multicentre RCT implicated training and supervising 26 psychologists in 14 hospitals and rehabilitation centres, which in itself led to simultaneous implementation of CBT for MS-related fatigue in a large part of the Netherlands and in an MS centre in Belgium.
