The Fatigue Severity Scale: Application to Patients With Multiple Sclerosis and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
TL;DR: A fatigue severity scale was internally consistent, correlated well with visual analogue measures, clearly differentiated controls from patients, and could detect clinically predicted changes in fatigue over time and identify features that distinguish fatigue between two chronic medical disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatigue in Multiple Sclerosis
TL;DR: Multiple sclerosis fatigue appears to be a distinct clinical entity, often disabling, that can be distinguished from normal fatigue, affective disturbance, and neurologic impairment.
Journal ArticleDOI
