Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Improves Physical Function and Fatigue in Mild and Moderate Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A Consecutive Randomized Controlled Trial of Standard and Short Interventions Merethe Eide Gotaas, Tore C. Stiles, Johan Håkon Bjørngaard Petter C. Borchgrevink and Egil A. Fors...

Abstract The pathophysiology of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and Q fever fatigue syndrome (QFS) remains elusive. Recent data suggest a role for neuroinflammation as defined by increased expression of translocator protein (TSPO). In the present study we investigated neuroinflammation in female...

Not new but thought it should be here. " Abstract Background Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) or chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) has been used to name a range of chronic conditions characterized by extreme fatigue and other disabling symptoms. Attempts to estimate the...

Full title: A Comparison of Patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis from the United Stated and Japan Elzbieta Wiedbusch, Joseph Cotler, Leonard A. Jason Abstract: Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME) are debilitating conditions found...

Abstract Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a persistent and unexplained pathological state characterized by exertional and severely debilitating fatigue, with/without infectious or neuropsychiatric symptoms, and with a minimum duration of 6 consecutive months. Its...

Abstract Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) has been defined as unexplained relapsing or persistent fatigue for at least 6 consecutive months. Immuno-inflammatory pathway, bacterial infection, and other causes play essential roles in CFS. Helicobacter pylori infection is one of the most common...

Highlights • Guided graded exercise self-help (GES) can lead to sustained improvement in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome. • There was no evidence of greater harm after GES compared to specialist medical care at long-term follow-up. • The study showed that GES was probably...

" Abstract Documenting the importance of NK cell function as a biomarker for diseases and physiologic conditions including myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), will require assays amenable to clinical implementation and standardization. Research studies typically perform...

Highlights • ME/CFS is characterized by skewed B cell receptor gene usage. • Upregulation of specific IGHV genes correlated to infection-related episodes at onset. • Plasmablasts of ME/CFS patients upregulated interferon response genes. • B cell receptor repertoire analysis can provide a useful...

Abstract Policy Points An estimated 700,000 people in the United States have “long COVID,” that is, symptoms of COVID‐19 persisting beyond three weeks. COVID‐19 and its long‐term sequelae are strongly influenced by social determinants such as poverty and by structural inequalities such as...

Background Post-exertional malaise (PEM) is a defining characteristic of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) but there is insufficient research dissecting the nature of PEM from the patients’ perspective. Methods A PEM questionnaire administered to 150 ME/CFS patients...

Abstract Many patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) fail to derive benefit from evidence-based treatments such as cognitive–behavioural therapy (CBT) and graded exercise therapy leading to permanent disability. To discover whether a repeat prescription of modafinil might potentiate the...
