Myalgic Encephalitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approach and Biological Research 2023 Sato

Abstract

Myalgic encephalitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, an intractable disease characterized by profound fatigue, sleep disturbance, cognitive impairment, and orthostatic intolerance, among other features, often occurs after infectious episodes. Patients experience various types of chronic pain; however, post-exertional malaise is the most significant feature, which requires pacing. In this article, I summarize the current diagnostic and therapeutic approaches and describe recent biological research in this domain.
