| Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) | The FSS is a 9-item scale used to assess the impact of fatigue on daily activities. Each item is rated on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 to 7. The total score is the average of the 9 items. Scores range from 1 to 7, where higher scores indicate greater fatigue severity (worse outcome). | Baseline, at the end of the 3rd week, and at the end of the 6th week. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for Pain | The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is used to measure the intensity of pain. It consists of a 10-cm horizontal line where 0 indicates "no pain" and 10 indicates "unbearable pain." Participants mark the point that represents their current pain level. Higher scores represent increased pain intensity (worse outcome). | Baseline, at the end of the 3rd week, and at the end of the 6th week. |

| Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) | The PSQI is used to evaluate sleep quality over the past month. It consists of 19 individual items generating seven component scores. The total score ranges from 0 to 21. A higher total score indicates poorer sleep quality (worse outcome). | Baseline, at the end of the 3rd week, and at the end of the 6th week. |
| Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life-54 (MSQOL-54) | The MSQOL-54 is a multidimensional health-related quality of life measure. It provides two main summary scores: Physical Health and Mental Health. Scores for each subscale are transformed to a 0-100 scale. For these subscales, higher scores indicate a better quality of life (better outcome). | Baseline, at the end of the 3rd week, and at the end of the 6th week. |
