Abstract
Objetive: the objective of this study is to analyze the efficiency from occupational therapy in the methods of rehabilitation of fatigue in people diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
Methodology: a bibliographic search was carried out in the Pubmed, Scielo, Dialnet, Cochrane, OT-Skeer, and PEDro databases, as well as a second search through references of the articles found in these sources. 13 randomized clinical trials published in the last 10 years were included.
Results: The 13 included articles carried out interventions based on physical exercise, cognitive-behavioral therapy, aquatic therapy, motor imagery and neurofeedback to reduce the symptoms of fatigue in people with multiple sclerosis.
Conclusion: Fatigue rehabilitation has positive effects in people with multiple sclerosis, improving self-efficacy and perception of it, thus impoving quality of life. However, more research is needed, especially from the field of occupational therapy.
