Background. Fatigue is a disabling symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Managing Fatigue: A Six-Week Energy Conservation Intervention was developed to improve the occupational performance of people with fatigue. Efficacy of this program has not been established in PD. Purpose. This study will assess feasibility of the Managing Fatigue: Individual Program (MFIP) delivered via videoconference, the Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) protocol, and the preliminary effectiveness of the MFIP. Methods. A mixed-methods approach nested in a pilot RCT, randomizing 54 participants 1:1 to usual care or MFIP arms, will be employed to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of MFIP. Qualitative and quantitative data will be collected simultaneously. Implications. Results will identify evidence for establishing protocol requirements for a full-scale RCT. Knowledge of the effectiveness of the one-to-one videoconference delivery format of the program has the potential to enhance the accessibility and the quality of care of the PD population.

管理帕金森病的疲劳：试点随机对照试验方案

背景。疲劳是帕金森病 (PD) 的致残症状。管理疲劳：开发了一项为期六周的节能干预措施，以改善疲劳患者的职业表现。该方案的功效尚未在 PD 中确定。目的。本研究将评估通过视频会议、随机对照试验 (RCT) 协议提供的疲劳管理个人计划( MFIP ) 的可行性以及 MFIP 的初步有效性。方法。将采用嵌套在试点 RCT 中的混合方法方法，将 54 名参与者以 1:1 的比例随机分配到常规护理或 MFIP 组，以评估 MFIP 的可行性和初步有效性。定性和定量数据将同时收集。影响。结果将确定建立全面 RCT 方案要求的证据。了解该计划的一对一视频会议交付格式的有效性有可能提高 PD 人群的可及性和护理质量。
