The minimal important difference (MID) or minimal clinically important difference (MCID) is the smallest change in a treatment outcome that an individual patient would identify as important and which would indicate a change in the patient's management.
The Unidimensional Fatigue Impact Scale (U-FIS) is a disease-specific patient-reported outcome measure which measures the impact of multiple sclerosis related fatigue. [1] It is a 22-item unidimensional scale which is based on needs-based quality of life theory.
Fatigue is the most frequently affirmed symptom of PCS included on the questionnaire, while double vision is the least affirmed. [7] Some other neuropsychological tests do not include fatigue as a symptom of PCS, giving the Rivermead Post-Concussion Symptoms Questionnaire an advantage in an "accurate" assessment of the condition.
The Borg RPE scale is a numerical scale that ranges from 6 to 20, [8] where 6 means "no exertion at all" and 20 means "maximal exertion." When a measurement is taken, a number is chosen from the following scale by an individual that best describes their perceived level of exertion during physical activity.
The modified UPDRS retains the four-scale structure with a reorganization of the various subscales. Score ranges from 0 to 260, [7] [8] with 0 indicating no disability and 260 indicating total disability. The scales are: Part I: Nonmotor experiences of daily living: 13 items. Score range: 0–52, [8] 10 and below is mild, 22 and above is severe ...
The fatigue must have lasted for 6 months or longer, and be present at least 50% of the time; Other symptoms are possible, such as muscle pain, mood problems, or sleep disturbance; Conditions known to cause severe fatigue and some mental conditions exclude a diagnosis. Post-infectious fatigue syndrome also requires evidence of a prior infection ...
Within the branch of materials science known as material failure theory, the Goodman relation (also called a Goodman diagram, a Goodman-Haigh diagram, a Haigh diagram or a Haigh-Soderberg diagram) is an equation used to quantify the interaction of mean and alternating stresses on the fatigue life of a material.

Prolonged fatigue is fatigue that persists for more than a month, and chronic fatigue is fatigue that lasts at least six consecutive months, which may be caused by a physical or psychological illness, or may be idiopathic (no known cause). [1] Chronic fatigue with a known cause is twice as common as idiopathic chronic fatigue. [6]
