Current Topics and Trends in MS Rehab Part 1: Understanding Fatigue and Its Clinical Management
Chair: Patricia Bobryk, MHS,PT,MSCS,ATP (NMSS)Moderator: John DeLuca, PhD (Kessler Foundation)
Fatigue is the most common MS symptom, suffered by up to 90% of patients, and has a significant impact on the lives of patients and their families. Despite over 100 years of research, little is known about how its defined, assessed, its neural underpinnings and effective treatment. This symposium will address all these critical issues in the management of fatigue in MS patients. Despite its profound effect on MS patients and families, fatigue assessment and management is based on simplistic and dogmatic understanding and knowledge. This symposium is designed to provide the latest research-based information on understating of: What fatigue is, how its assessed and measured, its neural mechanisms and what treatment works and what doesn’t work. The symposium will be geared to providing clinicians and researchers intermediate level practical information and guidance in the understanding, impact, and treatment of fatigue in MS patients.
