Multiple Sclerosis and Fatigue Assessment

NCT05820334

CompletedN/A

Sponsor: Asli Demirtaş

Conditions: Multiple Sclerosis

Countries: Turkey (Türkiye)

Fatigue in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a problem that is seen without physical exertion and affects the majority of patients. In studies on fatigue in the literature, it has been seen that subjective methods are frequently used by using evaluation scales based on patient statements, but objective evaluation methods are not yet sufficient. This study was planned to compare the measurement results by evaluating fatigue subjectively, objectively and cognitively in MS patients.
