Fatigue in MS: From Invisible to Measurable
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
Fatigue is one of the most common and burdensome symptoms of MS, but its precise cause remains unknown, and an effective treatment is lacking. Previous research has shown that the progression of MS is associated with a higher presence of a specific type of T-cell, the cytotoxic CD4+ T-cells, which play a role in the immune system. The aim of this study is to investigate whether these cells can also be linked to fatigue in people with MS.
