Exercise for the management of cancer-related fatigue in adults (2008)
Journal Article
Cramp, F. (., & Byron-Daniel, J. Z. (2008). Exercise for the management of cancer-related fatigue in adults. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Issue(2), https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD006145.pub2

Background: Cancer-related fatigue is now recognised as an important symptom associated with cancer and its treatment. A number of studies have investigated the effects of physical activity in reducing cancer-related fatigue with no definitive conclu...

This aim of this systematic review was to determine the prevalence and pattern of cancer-related fatigue (CRF), and identify factors associated with its development. Relevant literature was identified through an electronic database search using speci... Read More about Cancer-related fatigue: A critical appraisal.

Fatigue in gynaecological cancer patients: A pilot study (2006)
Journal Article
Prue, G., Rankin, J., Cramp, F. (., Allen, J., & Gracey, J. (2006). Fatigue in gynaecological cancer patients: A pilot study. Supportive Care in Cancer, 14(1), 78-83. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00520-005-0830-7

Rationale: Fatigue is a frequent complaint of women with cancer. However, the incidence of fatigue has not been well studied, in particular gynaecological cancer, which despite its prevalence has received minimal investigation. Goals of work: The stu...

Data from a clinical study presented an opportunity to examine the psychometric properties of the Leeds Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life scale (LMSQoL), which has undergone limited psychometric evaluation. LMSQoL and Multiple Sclerosis Quality of L... Read More about Measuring quality of life in multiple sclerosis: Not as simple as it sounds.

Measuring disability in multiple sclerosis: Is the Community Dependency Index an improvement on the Barthel Index? (2004)
Journal Article

The Community Dependency Index (CDI) was developed due to concerns that the Barthel Index (BI) was limited as a measure of physical function in community settings. However no studies have compared the two rating scales within multiple sclerosis (MS)....
