Brief summary (from the registry)

People with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) often have pain and/or fatigue. Unfortunately, available treatments provide inadequate relief for the majority of these individuals. There remains an urgent need for additional treatment options for MS-related symptoms. The purpose of this study is to see if alternative treatments that involve self-hypnosis training, neurofeedback training and/or mindfulness meditation training, or a combination of some of these treatments can help decrease pain and fatigue in people with MS. A subject must have a diagnosis of MS, have chronic pain and/or fatigue, and be at least 18 years old to participate, among other criteria.
