Protocol summary

Study aim
Effect of energy conservation strategies on fatigue, function and quality of life in adult with motor neuron disease
Design
Clinical trial with control group, with two parallel groups(control and intervention), double blind(patient and assessor), randomized
Settings and conduct
Energy conservation strategies will be held for 3 weeks and one hour per week in the rehabilitation department of Shariati hospital. After obtaining the inclusion criteria and completing the initial consent form, the information of the individuals is recorded. According to the parallel design, patients are randomly divided into two groups of control(B) and treatment(A). Both groups receive routine treatments, but in addition to routine treatment, the treatment group will also attend training sessions on energy conservation strategies. Assessments are completed three times in the first week before treatment, then in the third week after intervention, and finally one-month follow-up. Then all the information will be collected and handed over to the statistics consultant for analysis.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Age between 18-65 year; Mini mental status exam score more than 24; Beck depression inventory score less than 17; Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score less than 5; Fatigue severity scale more than 4; able to walk with or without crutches Exclusion criteria: cardiopulmonary problems; no interests in participation
Intervention groups
Intervention group(A): Patients in the intervention group participated in 3 weekly, 1-hour energy conservation programs provided by an experienced OT. Control group(B): Patients participated in 3 weekly, 1-hour occupational therapy sessions provided by an experienced OT in Shariati hospital.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group(A): Patients in the intervention group participated in 3 weekly, 1-hour energy conservation programs provided by an experienced OT.The principles used during the ECM program include The importance of rest during the day, energy budgeting, setting rest periods during the day, administration of proper body mechanics and posture, separating of each daily activity to several components, prioritizing activities, teaching ergonomic principles, analyzing and utilization of the way that ADLs are performed, and environmental change. The training sessions were based on the theory of psychoeducational group development and included discussions about the nature of illness and fatigue, setting short-term and long-term goals, doing homework, and execution of strategies at home. In the first session, patients were taught about the MND nature, the effects of fatigue on ADL, and the importance of rest and adjusting rest periods during the day. Patients were asked to explain their daily routine and the barriers they encounter during activities. The patient, along with the OT, sets short rest periods between daily activities at certain times of the day. In the second session, the therapist spoke about the importance of correct body posturing and emphasized on the performing tasks in the sitting position rather than standing. Patients were taught to divide each activity into smaller, easier steps. The third session focused on prioritizing activities during the day, emphasizing on performing hard and exhausting work at the beginning of the day, and the importance of ergonomics and environment modifications
