Improved quality of life and psychological symptoms following mindfulness and cognitive rehabilitation in multiple sclerosis and their mediating role for cognition: a randomized controlled trial

ConclusionsMBCT and CRT reduced a wide array of psychological symptoms and improved mental QoL. These improvements seemed to impact self-reported cognitive problems after both treatments, whereas objective cognitive improvements after MBCT seemed independent of improvement in psychological symptoms. Future studies should investigate long-term sustainability of these beneficial effects.Trial registrationThe trial was prospectively registered in the Dutch Trial registry on 31 May 2017 (NL6285;https://trialsearch.who.int/Trial2.aspx?TrialID=NTR6459).
