Cerebral infarction is a type of stroke that can lead to sometimes disabling sequelae. Among these sequelae, fatigue is frequently reported by patients. It is therefore important for doctors to understand why patients suffer from fatigue after cerebral infarction and to determine whether treatments given for the cerebral infarction may have an impact on this fatigue.

The aim of this research was to study the frequency of fatigue after cerebral infarction, the associated factors, in particular the impact of treatments administered in the acute phase.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients presenting recent symptomatic cerebral infarction (< 1 week) defined according to World Health Organization (WHO) criteria and hospitalised at the Stroke Unit in Dijon University.
• Patients aged 18 years or older.
• Patients who have been informed about the study, or their person of trust for patients unable to express their consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients (or their person of trust) who refuse to participate in the study.
• Subjects in custody.
• Patients presenting prior co-morbidity as a cause of significant fatigue in the opinion of the investigator
• Patients with dementia or aphasia before the stroke
• Patients (or their person of trust) who may be difficult to contact by telephone during the follow-up.
