Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Although fatigue is widely accepted to be one of the most common and disabling symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS), it remains difficult to define and quantify, and its cause remains poorly understood.1 In general, management of fatigue begins with identification and amelioration of other factors contributing to it, such as depression, pain, sleep disorders, and comorbid medical conditions. Nonpharmacologic treatments, including graded exercise training,2 energy management strategies,3 and cooling therapy,4 have been tried, but evidence supporting their effectiveness is limited. Several pharmacologic treatments have been tried as well. Two studies reported in this issue of Neurology provide further information on the difficulties of treating this distressing MS symptom, one suggesting that a medication commonly prescribed for fatigue is ineffective,5 the other suggesting that an even more commonly used medication may have some benefit.6 The only treatments previously demonstrated to have an effect on fatigue in placebo-controlled clinical trials are …

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
