Abstract EN
Symptoms of fatigue are often reported by patients in both the acute and chronic stages of recovery following a stroke.
It is commonly associated with low mood and sleep disturbances, but can arise in their absence.
However, it has also been associated with poorer long-term outcome and, as such, its aetiology warrants a greater understanding.
There is convincing evidence that inflammatory cascades and cytokine signalling precipitated by the infarct promote fatigue, and these pathways may harbour therapeutic targets in its management.
