MATERIAL AND METHODS The study involved 65 respondents/patients with clinically confirmed multiple sclerosis (54 women, 11 men, average age 46.49 years). The evaluation of the effects of fatigue on the physical, psychological, and psychosocial aspects of life was assessed using the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS). To test the effectiveness of the neurorehabilitation program, we enrolled 2 groups: the experimental group (EG, n=32, 29 women, 3 men, Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) 4.8 average, SD±1.77, min. 1.5 max 8.0) participated in the intervention and rehabilitation program over a period of 12 weeks and the control group (CG, n=33, 25 women, 8 men. EDSS average 5.12±1.74 SD, min. 2.0 max. 8.0). Each group of patients was divided into 3 sub-groups according to the severity of EDSS: a) 1-3.5, b) 4-6, and c) 6.5-8.
