Fatigue is a common and disabling symptom of multiple sclerosis (MS). There is no effective pharmacological treatment for fatigue, although a few reports point towards beneficial effects from physical activity for MS patients suffering from fatigue. We devised a physical activity program for MS patients with fatigue and present the results from our first use of this program, on nine patients from our region. The program consisted of a 20-week series of gradual stretching, resistance and aerobic exercises, adapted to the individual clinical condition of each patient. The results showed significant improvement in cardio-circulatory parameters, as well as a significant decrease in scores on the fatigue scale. The success of this program led patients to ask to continue with it after the trial was finished, and more patients are enrolling in the program, motivated by the good results reported by fellow patients.
疲劳是多发性硬化症（MS）常见且致残的症状。尽管有一些报告指出体育活动对患有疲劳的MS患者有有益影响，但目前尚无有效的药物治疗疲劳的方法。我们为患有疲劳的MS患者设计了一项体育活动计划，并展示了我们首次使用该计划对本地区9名患者的治疗结果。该计划包括为期20周的一系列逐步的伸展、阻力和有氧运动，根据每位患者的个体临床状况进行调整。结果显示，心血管循环参数有显著改善，疲劳量表得分也显著降低。该计划的成功使得患者在试验结束后要求继续参与，并且更多患者受到病友报告的良好结果的激励而报名参加该计划。
