Abnormal cervical cord function contributes to fatigue in multiple sclerosis.

The article presents research that examines the association of cervical cord dysfunction and damage with the presence and severity of fatigue in patients suffering from multiple sclerosis (MS) under multiparametric magnetic resonance (MR) approach. Study shows the contribution of cervical cord function abnormalities to fatigue pathogenesis in MS. It notes that these abnormalities are not related to the structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures of the brain's focal lesion.
