Fatigue is a common and disabiling symptom in multiple sclerosis but is poorly understood. Self-report measures are designed to capture the patient's subjective sense of fatigue.

We conclude that these scales must be used in assemble, to evaluate this symptom. Also, fatigue a very important symptom in multiple sclerosis patients.
