Ungraded means an effect was reported without a GRADE rating; it is not a gap. No studies means the review found nothing to answer the question. The six categories are a display order, not a score.
Questions and results
Interventions specifically targeting the treatment of post‐stroke fatigue
Population: people with stroke with fatigue
| Outcome | Effect | Evidence | Status / GRADE |
|---|---|---|---|
Fatigue severity at the end of pharmacological treatment (assessed by different fatigue scales) | no estimate extracted | 4 studies · 209 participants | Very low Downgraded: risk of bias, imprecision, inconsistency, indirectness |
Fatigue severity at the end of non‐pharmacological treatment (assessed by different fatigue scales) | no estimate extracted | 2 studies · 35 participants | Very low Downgraded: risk of bias, imprecision, inconsistency, indirectness |
Interventions not specifically targeting post‐stroke fatigue
Population: people with stroke not necessarily having fatigue
| Outcome | Effect | Evidence | Status / GRADE |
|---|---|---|---|
Fatigue severity at the end of treatment (assessed by Fatigue Severity Scale) | no estimate extracted | 1 study · 32 participants | Very low Downgraded: risk of bias, imprecision, indirectness |
Changes of fatigue scores from baseline to after treatment (assessed by energy/fatigue scale from the Medical Outcomes Study) | no estimate extracted | 1 study · 125 participants | Very low Downgraded: risk of bias, imprecision, indirectness |
Proportion of participants with fatigue after treatment (assessed by the self report by participants) | RR 0.42 | 1 study · 31 participants | Very low Downgraded: risk of bias, imprecision, indirectness |
