Fatigue is a common problem in multiple sclerosis (MS). Providing 4 weeks of access to audio recordings of therapeutic hypnosis or mindfulness meditation reduced fatigue impact, sleep disturbance, and depressive symptom severity more than no access in 333 individuals with MS and fatigue. These improvements persisted at 16 and 28 weeks after initial access, with no serious adverse events. The findings support the feasibility of a simple, audio-based approach to significantly benefit MS-related fatigue.
