Description
Summary:Fatigue is a persistent and debilitating feeling of tiredness that limits the ability to perform daily activities and is a common and difficult-to-treat condition in patients with rheumatic diseases (RD). Fatigue is a major challenge for the physician. However, methods to treat it have not yet been developed, as fatigue is usually considered an insignificant background condition. This article provides an overview of the 2023 EULAR recommendations, which outline the guiding principles and strategy for the management of fatigue in patients with RD. The EULAR recommendations are based on an understanding of fatigue as a complex condition that requires an individualized approach in choosing the correction methods. It is important that the assessment of fatigue becomes part of the routine practice of rheumatologists and other physicians. Patient education recommendations emphasize the importance of an individualized approach tailored to the needs of the individual, including optimizing physical activity and psychoeducational interventions.
