Fatigue, insomnia and daytime sleepiness in multiple sclerosis versus narcolepsy

Abstract: Objectives In multiple sclerosis (MS), fatigue is the most prevalent cause of impaired ability to work. In narcolepsy, daytime sleepiness is the main symptom but some studies indicate fatigue being present. We aimed to assess fatigue and associated features in patients with MS or narcolepsy and healthy controls and to assess whether clinical parameters separate fatigued (MS‐F) and non‐fatigued MS patients (MS‐NoF). Materials & Methods In this non‐interventional cross‐sectional study, we recruited 34 MS patient… Show more

“… 62 Some studies concluded that fatigue was unrelated to sleepiness, depression, and obesity. 63 , 64 We speculated that shortened mean sleep latency, coupled with shortened SOL, decreased SE, and prolonged WASO could indicate more serious sleep disturbances and prevented adequate rest and recovery, leading to increased fatigue. This is probably why mean sleep latency was inversely related to FSS scores and brain fatigue.…”

“…The ESS is an eight‐item questionnaire measuring participants’ perceived propensity to doze during common daytime activities. The ESS has commonly been used to measure daytime somnolence in MS (Devos et al, 2021; Johansson et al, 2021; Kołtuniuk et al, 2022). A score of >10 is indicative of excessive daytime sleepiness.…”

“…The FSS was originally compiled by Krupp et al [ 49 ] to measure the degree of fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis. Studies have proven that it has good reliability and validity in other populations, with Cronbach Alpha > 0.89 [ 50 , 51 ].…”
