Fatigue is a common problem in Parkinson's disease (PD). The Parkinson's Fatigue Scale (PFS) designed for measurement of fatigue in PD has not been validated in the US. The objective of this study was to validate the PFS by comparing it to the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS). Fifty PD patients and 16 controls completed PFS, FSS and semi-structured interview. FSS and PFS were strongly correlated with one another and had high internal consistency, indicating that both are reliable scales. PD patients and healthy controls differed significantly on both measures. PD patients endorsed significantly more fatigue. The PFS is a reliable, valid fatigue measure.
疲劳是帕金森病（PD）中的常见问题。用于测量帕金森病疲劳程度的帕金森病疲劳量表（PFS）在美国尚未得到验证。本研究的目的是通过将PFS与疲劳严重程度量表（FSS）进行比较来验证PFS。50名帕金森病患者和16名对照完成了PFS、FSS和半结构化访谈。FSS和PFS彼此高度相关且具有高内部一致性，表明两者都是可靠的量表。帕金森病患者和健康对照在这两项测量上存在显著差异。帕金森病患者认可的疲劳程度明显更高。PFS是一种可靠、有效的疲劳测量工具。
