Interventions for post-stroke fatigue

Abstract

There is insufficient evidence available to guide the management of fatigue after stroke. Further trials are required.

Post-stroke fatigue interventions for stroke survivors: A scoping review

“…However, both reviews were limited to one type of intervention, and the majority of the literature covered only English-language studies, overlooking the contributions of Chinese research. Similar findings have been reported by McGeough et al ( 2009 ) and Wu et al ( 2015 ). Therefore, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive review that systematically describes and summarizes all PSF interventions, encompassing both completed trials and relevant studies from Chinese literature.…”

Limb Heaviness

“…In summary, we show that limb heaviness, a common symptom after stroke (a) is not related to muscle weakness and (b) is closely related to poststroke fatigue Poststroke fatigue is commonly looked on as a neuropsychiatric symptom, 7 yet pharmacological interventions have proved futile, 8,9 and there are no definitive treatments for fatigue. 10 The present work taken together with our previous work 2,3 suggests that changes within the sensorimotor system are more closely linked to development of nonexercise-related poststroke fatigue than previously thought. We also propose a novel mechanism of poststroke fatigue, which requires further testing.…”
