MS patients test video tool to improve care choices
NCT ID NCT06860932
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a 10-minute video about palliative care can help people with multiple sclerosis (MS) understand their options and make decisions that match their values. Half of the 50 participants will watch the video, and the other half will read a standard information sheet. Researchers will compare their knowledge, decision-making confidence, and care preferences after three months.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosed with MS, NMOSD, or anti-MOG, at least 2 years after their diagnosis. * Aged 18-65 * Speak English since all instruments are available in English. Exclusion Criteria: * Visually impaired (note, hearing impaired is not an exclusion criterion as the video is closed captioned). * Psychological state not appropriate for PC discussions as determined by the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ9). * A score of 11 or higher, indicative of major depressive disorder, will be referred to immediate management and excluded from the study. * Unable to participate in PC discussions due to cognitive impairment as determined by the Processing Speed Test (PST) score below -1.5 Z score.
