The PrEliMS Feasibility Trial

The PrEliMS study is a mixed-methods feasibility randomised controlled trial of a point of diagnosis intervention programme which aims to provide emotional support for newly diagnosed people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). This feasibility study will enable us to plan for a definitive trial to evaluate the clinical and cost-effectiveness of this point of diagnosis intervention programme. The aim is to assess the feasibility of the trial procedures and intervention, and to evaluate the key feasibility parameters before proceeding to a definitive trial. Participants (N=60) will be randomised into three groups: (1) usual care; (2) usual care + Support 1 (MS Nurse Support); (2) usual care + Support 2 (MS Nurse Support plus Peer Support).
