Fatigue is a major challenge in multiple sclerosis (MS), impacting quality of life. Early detection and management, including exercise and addressing contributing factors, are crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Fatigue is the most prevalent symptom in multiple sclerosis (MS).
  • It significantly limits daily activities, causes psychological distress, and reduces quality of life.
  • The exact definition and pathophysiology of MS-related fatigue remain under investigation, with limited objective markers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the literature on fatigue in MS.
  • To highlight the importance of early detection and management strategies.
  • To propose therapeutic approaches for MS-related fatigue.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on fatigue in multiple sclerosis.
  • Discussion of assessment tools like the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) and Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS).

  • Identification of contributing factors including psychological disorders, sleep disturbances, pain, comorbidities, medications, and deconditioning.

    • Main Results:

    • Rehabilitative interventions are key to managing MS fatigue.
    • Aerobic exercise has demonstrated positive effects in randomized controlled studies.
    • Medications offer partial benefits, with limited confirmation from rigorous trials.

    Conclusions:

    • Comprehensive evaluation and early management are essential for MS fatigue.
    • Energy conservation, cooling techniques, and aerobic exercise are recommended interventions.
    • Further research is needed to confirm the efficacy of pharmacological treatments.
