Brain Stimulation May Relieve Multiple Sclerosis-Associated Fatigue

Fatigue is among the most debilitating adverse events associated with multiple sclerosis (MS), affecting up to 90% of patients. It can prevent patients from going about their day-to-day routines and force them to stop working. A large percentage of patients have rated fatigue as the most burdensome symptom, and there is currently no treatment indicated for MS-related fatigue.

Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS), which is used to diagnose and treat neurological and psychiatric disorders, may be the solution to fatigue experienced by patients with MS, according to a study published by Neurology, Neuroimmunology & Neuroinflammation.

Treatment with dTMS involves an innovative technology called an H-coil that stimulates the brain 3 times deeper than standard TMS. The deep stimulation technique can significantly relieve fatigue experienced by patients with MS, according to the study.
