Post-stroke Fatigue and Clinical Parameters

Frequency of Post-stroke Fatigue and Its Relationship With Clinical Parameters

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 17 Nov 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This study aims to determine the frequency of post-stroke fatigue (PSF) in patients experiencing their first-ever stroke and admitted to our clinic. PSF is a common and debilitating condition that significantly impacts patients' recovery and quality of life. The study will also explore the association between fatigue severity and various demographic and clinical factors such as age, gender, stroke type and duration, pain, mood disorders, sleep quality, motor and cognitive functions, spasticity, physical capacity, ambulation, independence in daily living activities, and health-related quality of life. Patients over 18 years old, at least three months post-stroke, and meeting specific inclusion criteria will be recruited. Fatigue will be assessed using validated scales including the Fatigue Severity Scale and Visual Analog Scale-Fatigue. Additional assessments will measure pain, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, motor and cognitive status, spasticity, physical endurance, functional mobility, and daily activity independence. The findings are expected to contribute to a better understanding of PSF and help inform more effective rehabilitation strategies.
