An online self-study Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program was tested for people with mental fatigue after an acquired brain injury. Sixty participants were randomly assigned to the online MBSR course or a waitlist control group. Sixteen completed the MBSR program. No significant difference between groups was found overall, but the MBSR group showed significant reductions in mental fatigue, depression, and anxiety with large-to-medium effect sizes. The control group showed no significant changes. The online MBSR program can be feasible for those with less severe mental fatigue and emotional symptoms, while others may need a program adapted to their needs.
