A four-site RCT of Fatigue: Take Control (FTC), a multicomponent group program, found no significant differences from a control program, MS: Take Control (MSTC), in fatigue on the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) through 6 months.
Assess FTC for a delayed effect on fatigue.
Of 78 subjects at one site, 74 randomized to FTC or MSTC completed the MFIS at 12 months.
Compared to baseline, FTC produced greater improvements in MFIS scores than MSTC (FTC -8.9 (confidence interval (CI): 32.2, 45), MSTC -2.5 (CI 39.6, 47.7), p = 0.03) at 12 months.
The delayed effect of FTC on fatigue suggests the need for longer follow-up when assessing interventions for fatigue.
一项针对疲劳的四项随机对照试验(RCT)——疲劳控制(FTC),这是一种多组分的小组项目,发现与对照组(MSTC)相比,在经过 6 个月的修正疲劳影响量表(MFIS)上,FTC 并没有在疲劳方面表现出显著差异。
评估 FTC 在疲劳方面的延迟效果。
在一个地点的 78 名受试者中,有 74 名随机分配到 FTC 或 MSTC 组,在 12 个月时完成 MFIS。
与基线相比,FTC 在 MFIS 评分上的改善程度大于 MSTC(FTC-8.9(置信区间(CI):32.2,45),MSTC-2.5(CI 39.6,47.7),p=0.03),在 12 个月时。
FTC 在疲劳方面的延迟效果表明,在评估疲劳干预措施时,需要更长的随访时间。
