Sumario:BACKGROUND: A multicomponent group MS fatigue self-management program reduced fatigue impact compared to a rigorous control 12 months after enrollment. OBJECTIVES: Assess and compare changes between groups in fatigue impact and behavior changes implemented 5–6 years after enrollment. METHODS: The Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) and a behavior change questionnaire were administered 5–6 years after enrollment. RESULTS: There were no significant changes in mean MFIS scores within or between groups from baseline to 5–6 years later. Behavior changes were of similar frequency in both groups. CONCLUSION: Fatigue impact was stable and behavior changes were similar between groups 5–6 years after a fatigue self-management program.
