This trial is testing a program called HOBSCOTCH-MS, which combines cognitive training (exercises to help thinking and memory) with self-management skills for people with multiple sclerosis who experience memory or thinking problems. The program is delivered at home through video calls and phone sessions, and it includes a caregiver (like a spouse or family member) to support you and learn alongside you. Researchers believe this program can improve your quality of life, memory, problem-solving abilities, and mood—while also reducing stress and improving knowledge for your caregiver.
Many people with multiple sclerosis experience problems with memory, thinking, and concentration—issues that can affect daily life and quality of life. This trial exists to test whether a convenient, home-based program that combines skill-building and caregiver support can meaningfully help both patients and the people caring for them.

If you join this trial, you will participate in weekly one-on-one sessions over about 9 weeks, delivered mostly by phone and some by video call from your home. Your sessions will include an initial meeting, one educational session, six skill-building phone calls, and a final wrap-up session. If you have a caregiver, they will join your first and last sessions and also receive relaxation guidance to help reduce their own stress. Researchers will also ask you to share your thoughts about the program to help improve it for future participants.
