Towards vitality: a longitudinal pilot study with a cognitive bias modification e-health intervention (VitalMe) to reduce fatigue in patients with chronic kidney disease
This is the first study to introduce CBM, which targets fatigue, to people with CKD. Despite the limitations in sample size and design, this study revealed strong effects on cognitive biases. It is recommended to replicate these findings in an adequately powered randomised controlled trial.
