Title: Post-stroke fatigue - a multi-dimensional problem or a cluster of disorders? A case for phenotyping post-stroke fatigue
Abstract: The last decade has seen a considerable increase in scientific interest in poststroke fatigue resulting in studies addressing both the pathophysiology and therapeutic strategies for reduction of poststroke fatigue. Of the many emerging concepts, one that urgently needs to be addressed is identifying clusters/subtypes/phenotypes of poststroke fatigue. In this talk, I will present a case for three potential phenotypes, discuss evidence in support of the phenotypes and a proposal for multidimensional phenotyping as an essential step towards personalised interventions for post-stroke fatigue.
