Summary
This study tests whether a 9-week online cognitive behavioral therapy program can improve sleep in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). About 550 participants in Norway will either receive the digital therapy or digital education about insomnia. The main goal is to see if the therapy reduces insomnia severity, and also whether it helps with fatigue, mood, and thinking problems.
What this could mean

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide an effective, accessible way to improve sleep and reduce fatigue for people with MS, without medication.
