  1. Mean and standard deviation of fractal dimensions before and after treatment, for Real and Sham FaReMuS in fatigued MS patients. Healthy controls did not underwent stimulation. Asterisks refer to the comparison between S1 and M1 fractal dimensions: they differed in controls and post-FaReMuS while the differentiation was impoverished pre-FaReMuS. In bold, the values changed after with respect to before FaReMuS for p < 0.010.
