This article summarises the research evidence presented in a recent issue of Effective Health Care on interventions for the treatment and management of chronic fatigue syndrome/ myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME). It provides an overview of the evidence from a systematic review of randomised controlled trials commissioned by the Department of Health. The results of the systematic review were found to be similar to those of another systematic review carried out in the USA at the same time, and the two have been combined and published together in 2001.
