“…Most studies of PSD are cross-sectional; the longitudinal studies that have been done tend to be small and have limited follow-up [4]. Fatigue, defined as a feeling of weariness, tiredness, or lack of energy, affects up to three-quarters of patients who suffer stroke [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Similar to PSD, most studies of PSF are cross-sectional in design and do not adequately address the natural history of PSF [13].…”

“…The symptom of post-stroke fatigue has only been recognized in the last 10 years, with rates of incidence varying from 39% to 72% (Ingles et al, 1999;Glader et al, 2002;Carlsson et al, 2004;Schepers et al, 2006;Christensen et al, 2008). Although there is no gold standard for the measurement of post-stroke fatigue (Winward et al, 2009), several studies measured fatigue using the Fatigue Severity Scale (Krupp et al, 1989;McGeough et al, 2009).…”

“…Some studies have demonstrated that the occurrence of post-stroke fatigue is independent of depression (Schepers et al, 2006), while another study reported a relationship between the two (van de Port et al, 2007). Other authors have suggested that post-stroke fatigue may be a result of other medical concerns, such as thyroid dysfunction, anemia, renal disease, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, infection or sleep disturbance (van der Werf et al, 2001;Moroz et al, 2004).…”

“…Prevalence rates of poststroke fatigue (PSF) are substantial, varying between 38 and 73% [4]. These rates seem to be stable over time, with no marked decline after the postacute stage to even years following the injury [5][6][7][8][9]. As no unequivocal associations with clinical or demographical variables, such as stroke type, age, sex, or education, have been found, all patients who have experienced a stroke may be at risk to develop this symptom [4].…”

“…The pathogenesis of PSF is still poorly understood [4,12,19,20] but believed to be multifactorial [4,5,12,14,[20][21][22]. Although direct associations with biological markers 2 ISRN Stroke have been demonstrated only in a few studies [20], the brain damage itself is suggested to be a primary cause for the experienced fatigue [23][24][25].…”
