Abstract
Fatigue is an extremely prevalent issue for multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Fatigue can affect quality of life, depression, anxiety, motor function and sleep patterns. There are a number of available rating scales designed to detect and assess fatigue. However, the pathophysiology of fatigue is still not completely understood and the treatment of this symptom remains difficult. A number of clinical trials for fatigue in MS have shown some benefit with different interventions, including medication, physical activity and cognitive–behavioral therapy. Nonetheless, further research and the development of more targeted therapies are needed to improve the management of fatigue.
