Efficacy of Web-based Cognitive Behavioural Treatment for Adolescents With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome — FitNet  

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Clinical Trial

Official title:
Fatigue in Teenagers on the Internet (FitNet); Efficacy of Web-based Cognitive Behavioural Treatment for Adolescents With the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of FITNET (web-based cognitive behavioural treatment) for adolescents with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) in The Netherlands. The second goal of the study is to establish predictors of outcome. It is very important to know the characteristics of patients who will benefit from Cognitive Behavioural Treatment (CBT) and who will not. Possible predictors of outcome are: age, depression, anxiety, fatigue of the mother, parental bonding, self-efficacy, body consciousness of child and mother, physical activity (Actometer).

Clinical Trial Description

All participants will be randomized to one of the two treatment arms:

1. Intervention with web-based cognitive behavioral treatment

2. Usual care

The duration of the cognitive behavioural program is limited to 6 months. The adolescents who have been assigned to the usual care will get the opportunity to attend the program after these 6 months. The total follow-up time is 12 months after the start of the web-based program.

The web-based program is developed for both the adolescents and the parents. The program consists of two parts, a psycho-educational part and a cognitive behavioural part consisting of 21 treatment modules. The therapist activates one or more treatment modules per week, dependent on the progress of the participant. Within a treatment module the participant will keep several journals, answer questions and do several assignments. All answers are sent to the therapist, with whom a weekly email contact will be realized.

Efficacy of the web-based program will be determined after 6 months. There will be a follow-up measurement at 12 months. ;
