The Impact of MS-Related Cognitive Fatigue on Future Brain Parenchymal Loss and Relapse: A 17-Month Follow-up Study

Abstract: BackgroundFatigue is a disabling syndrome in multiple sclerosis (MS), which may be associated with inflammation and faster disease progression.ObjectiveTo analyze the significance of cognitive fatigue for subsequent disease progression.MethodWe followed 46 MS patients and 14 healthy controls in a study over 17 months. At the beginning (t1) and at the end (t2) of the study participants scored their fatigue, performed the Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite and received MRI scanning, encompassing MPR T1, FLA… Show more

“…The study involved two visits with a mean interval of 17 months in between (the original study design laid down an interval of 18 months but due to the fast response of the patients at follow-up, we obtained a mean of 17 months). A different (fatigue-related) analysis of the same data set has already been published (Sander et al, 2016): we also refer to this article for further study details.…”

“…Aufgrund der Literatursichtung kommt Learmonth et al in seinem Review zu dem Ergebnis, dass die FSS für die Messung von Veränderung im Fatigue-Erleben geeignet ist, während für die meisten ande-ren Skalen keine entsprechenden Informationen vorliegen [7]. In unserer nicht interventionellen Verlaufsbeobachtungsstudie [15], bei der MS-Patienten sowie gesunde Kontrollen zu zwei Zeitpunkten mit einem Abstand von 17 Monaten bezüglich vorhandener Fatigue-Symptomatik und hinsichtlich Veränderungen in der Bildgebung untersucht wurden, zeigte sich eine relativ hohe Korrelation für die Unterskalen der FSMC, während die FSS keine hohe Zeitstabilität aufwies (siehe ▶ Abb. 1).…”
