An observational study in Stroke, Quality of Life and Post Stroke Fatigue, sponsored by Uskudar University. Completed at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-03-30.
Sponsored by Uskudar University · Observational
This observational cross-sectional study aims to examine the association between fatigue severity and health-related quality of life in individuals with stroke. Fatigue severity will be assessed using the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), and quality of life will be evaluated using the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP). The primary analysis will investigate the relationship between FSS total score and NHP total score and domain scores.
Participants with a diagnosis of stroke will be recruited from Istanbul Hospital. After obtaining informed consent, demographic and clinical characteristics will be recorded. Fatigue severity will be measured using the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS). Health-related quality of life will be assessed using the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), including its subdomains (e.g., energy level, pain, physical mobility, emotional reactions, sleep, social isolation). The primary objective is to determine the strength and direction of the association between fatigue and quality of life. Correlation analyses (e.g., Spearman/Pearson based on distribution) will be conducted, and exploratory multivariable models may be used to adjust for potential confounders (e.g., age, sex, time since stroke, stroke type, functional status).
7,286 studies on the registry are indexed under Stroke; 2,007 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 53 is below the median of 160 across 1,692 observational studies indexed under Stroke.

Fatigue Severity Scale
Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) is a 9-item self-report questionnaire used to assess the severity of fatigue and its impact on daily functioning. Each item is scored on a 7-point Likert scale (1-7), with higher scores indicating greater fatigue severity. The FSS is a reliable and widely used measure in clinical and research settings.
Time frame: Single assessment at enrollment (baseline)
Nottingham Health Profile
Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) is a self-reported questionnaire used to assess perceived health status and quality of life. It consists of 38 items covering six domains: physical mobility, pain, sleep, energy, social isolation, and emotional reactions. Higher scores indicate poorer health status.
Time frame: Single assessment at enrollment (baseline)
