Fatigue during multiple sclerosis relapse and its relationship to depression and neurological disability.

CONCLUSION: Fatigue is a frequent symptom during multiple sclerosis relapse. Depression and, to a lesser degree, disability but not relapse severity are independently related to the presence of fatigue. Depression and fatigue should be recognized and treated during standard relapse treatment. Further research might focus on other factors influencing fatigue during multiple sclerosis relapse including evaluation of fatigue at the different time points.
