Treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome

Abstract:

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a disorder which is characterised by profound fatigue together with a variety of other subjective clinical features which persist over a prolonged period of time. The aetiology remains at present uncertain and therefore rational therapeutic strategies are difficult to plan. This paper reviews currently used forms of treatment aimed at correcting the possible pathophysiological mechanisms and discusses the problems associated with the management of this condition.
