- Abstract
The article presents a study which examines the relationship of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) to sleepiness and fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). The study measures fatigue among MS patients using the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) and the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI), and sleepiness by Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Results show the association of MFI-mental fatigue and severe fatigue to OSA and respiratory-related arousals.
