Resumen
SARALEGUI, A.; PALACIO, P. y ROYO, P.. Use of methylphenidate in palliative patients with asthenia: a review. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2013, vol.36, n.2, pp.287-293. ISSN 1137-6627. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1137-66272013000200012.
Asthenia (or fatigue) is one of the most common symptoms in palliative patients. Methylphenidate is currently being assessed for treating this condition. A review of related literature published to date was performed, revealing methylphenidate to be a safe drug which could decrease fatigue in palliative patients with a tolerable side-effects profile.
