Incidence of Adverse Events
Time frame: Up to 5 weeks
Adverse events will be evaluated by treating physician.
secondary outcomes
secondary measures
Efficacy as measured by FSS scores
Time frame: Up to 5 weeks
Efficacy will be reported as the number of participants that dropped one point or more from their baseline Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) scores. FSS is a 9-item questionnaire with questions related to how fatigue interferes with certain activities according to a self-reported scale. Each of the items are scored on a 7 point scale with 1 = strongly disagree and 7 = strongly agree.
Efficacy as measured by MFIS Scores
Time frame: Up to 5 weeks
Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) is a scale is used to measure fatigue with the total score ranging from 0 to 84 with 0 being the best possible score and 84 being the worst score.
Efficacy as measured by the VAS scores
Time frame: Up to 5 weeks
The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) allows participants to rate their health on a 20 cm vertical with a higher number indicating better outcomes.
Efficacy as measured by the MSQOL Scores
Time frame: Up to 5 weeks
Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life (MSQOL) has a total score ranging from 0 to 100 with a higher score indicating a better quality of life.
