Four-week Rehab Significantly Improves Fatigue and Functional Deficit in Multiple Sclerosis Patients: Presented at ECTRIMS
Fatigue and functional deficits in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients were significantly improved during 4 weeks of inpatient rehabilitation, researchers reported here at the 22nd Congress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS).
"Inpatient rehab works in MS patients, and we have seen in this study in detail that it works, especially ameliorating fatigue, function of upper limbs and cognition, " said lead investigator Stephan Bamborschke, MD, professor of neurology, Charité Hospital, Berlin, and head of rehabilitation, Brandenburg Clinic, Bernau, Germany, who presented the findings on September 28th.
The purpose of the study was to assess the efficacy of neurological rehabilitation in MS patients, using the Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite (MSFC, Cutter 1999) scale and measuring fatigue using the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS, Krupp 1989), given to patients before and after rehabilitation.
"We also looked for parameters which possibly could predict the improvement of fatigue," the research team wrote in their poster presentation....
