Finnish Registry-Based Protocol for Screening and Management of Fatigue and Cognitive Problems in Multiple Sclerosis: Observational Study
Fatigue and cognitive problems have an effect on QoL. In our preliminary sample, patient reports of cognitive problems and especially fatigue were conducted more frequently than the objective evaluation of processing speed. Although the Finnish MS registry offers a digital platform for the systematic screening of fatigue and cognitive problems, further education is needed to support the implementation of the protocol.
