Abstract
Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), also known as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), is a complex, chronic condition marked by persistent, debilitating fatigue that is not alleviated by rest and often worsens with physical or mental exertion. Along with fatigue, patients experience various symptoms, including cognitive impairments, post-exertional malaise, muscle and joint pain, sleep disturbances, and immune system dysfunction.
Diagnosing CFS/ME is challenging due to the absence of definitive biomarkers, the overlap of symptoms with other conditions, and the lack of standardized diagnostic criteria. This comprehensive literature review aims to contribute to the understanding of CFS/ME, including its diagnosis, pathophysiology, differential diagnosis, treatment, and future directions.
