主要结局
Fatigue Severity Scale
时间窗: 1 week
The Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) is a self-reported measure of fatigue and sleep disturbance in patients with fibromyalgia. It is a 9-item scale that assesses the severity of fatigue, the impact of fatigue on daily activities, and the degree of sleep disturbance. The FSS is a widely used instrument in research and clinical practice, and has been found to be a valid and reliable measure of fatigue and sleep disturbance in patients with fibromyalgia. The FSS items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale, with responses ranging from "not at all" to "extremely." The total score ranges from 0 to 36, with higher scores indicating greater levels of fatigue and sleep disturbance.
Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory
时间窗: 1 week
The Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI) is a self-report questionnaire designed to assess various dimensions of fatigue experienced by individuals. It is commonly used in research and clinical settings to measure and understand fatigue in different contexts. Respondents answer a series of questions related to each dimension on a Likert-type scale, typically ranging from 1 to 5 or 0 to 4. The scores from each dimension are summed to obtain subscale scores, and a total score is often calculated by summing all subscale scores. Higher scores indicate greater levels of fatigue.
