P02.67. An alternative for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, an observational case series

چکیده
Purpose Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) has an elusive diagnosis and etiology. Treatment focuses on alleviation of symptoms and improving a patient’s quality of life. The primary objective was to observe and record changes in a subject’s health related quality of life (HRQoL), using the SF 36Item Health Survey (SF-36), before and six months after a National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association (NUCCA) atlas correction. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to observe changes in a subject’s sleep quality.

متن کاملCan pacing self-management alter physical behavior and symptom severity in chronic fatigue syndrome? A case series.
Given the lack of evidence in support of pacing self-management for patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), we examined whether physical behavior and health status of patients with CFS would improve in response to a pacing self-management program. We performed an observational study of pacing self-management in seven CFS patients using a single-case study design. Stages A1 and A2 (7-day a...
