Rehabilitation therapies can lead to recovery from chronic fatigue syndrome
31 January 2013
Research led by Queen Mary, University of London, has shown that recovery from chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is possible for some patients, and has identified two treatments most likely to lead to recovery.
The latest results from the PACE trial show that cognitive behaviour therapy and graded exercise therapy, as supplements to specialist medical care, increase the likelihood of recovery from CFS three-fold compared to other treatments studied. The trial, carried out in collaboration with researchers from King’s College London, the University of Oxford and the Medical Research Council, is published today in Psychological Medicine.
