Fatigue is a recognized problem in Parkinson's disease and other clinical conditions. We characterized this symptom in 19 patients and 19 age- and sex-matched controls, using the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI) and the Geriatric Depression Scale. Fatigue may be an independent symptom in Parkinson's disease, frequently associated with depression. Our analysis showed the usefulness of the MFI in discriminating between different dimensions of fatigue for a better therapeutic approach.
疲劳是帕金森病及其他临床病症中公认的问题。我们使用多维疲劳量表(MFI)和老年抑郁量表,对19例患者及19名年龄和性别匹配的对照者的这一症状进行了特征描述。疲劳可能是帕金森病中的一种独立症状,常与抑郁相关。我们的分析表明,MFI有助于区分疲劳的不同维度,从而采取更好的治疗方法。
