Abstract
Examining fatigue may be beneficial for nurse practitioners to intervene in the care of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). We measured the relationship of fatigue severity with event-related potentials during electroencephalogram and diffusion basis spectrum imaging/magnetic resonance imaging in 11 participants with relapsing-remitting MS and 5 healthy controls. Data were analyzed to measure brain activity during event-related potentials to responses to cue (correct response) and distractor (incorrect response) using a cognitive performance task. Nurse practitioners caring for patients with MS have an important role in monitoring fatigue severity.
