Despite advances in pharmacological and rehabilitation therapies, fatigue is among the most common andmost limiting symptoms in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Along with motor and sensory manifestationsof the disease, it results in restriction of physical activities, social isolation, worse mental health, and anoverall reduction in the quality of life. Comprehensive management (pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy,physiotherapy) including lifestyle measures and energy conservation strategies can signifi cantly reducefatigue and positively aff ect activities of daily living as well as integration of the patient into the community.
