“…The impact of chronic fatigue on individuals and society is great, affecting not only the physical and mental health of individuals but also the social development and the economy (39). However, CFS, although highly debilitating, has so far lacked an effective treatment.…”

Background: Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is characterized by persistent fatigue, which often leads to physical and psychological damage. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is considered to be one of the most effective treatments. Prolong life with nine turn method (PLWNT) Qigong is a combination of complex two-way traffic path connecting the cognitive center and the enteric nerves. In this study protocol, we will explore the effectiveness of PLWNT for physical and mental fatigue, gastrointestinal function, depression, and sleep quality in patients with CFS using clinical effectiveness scales and functional magnetic imaging (fMRI).Methods: A randomized controlled trial (RCT) consisting of 90 patients will be divided into a CBT and PLWNT group. Both of the groups will include a supervised intervention at the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine once a week, and the remaining six days will be completed at home over 12 consecutive weeks. The primary outcome variable will be the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI-20). Secondary outcomes will evaluate the Short Form 36-item Health Survey (SF-36), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and brain activation will be explored using fMRI.Discussion: This will be the first randomized controlled clinical trial to introduce the PLWNT method for the treatment of CFS. If these results demonstrate that CBT or PLWNT interventions are effective, they will provide a quality treatment plan for patients with chronic fatigue and optimize their guidance.

“…Stress levels are increased in the high-intensity physical activity group, and recovery time is required. Conversely, moderate exercise has a significant effect on reducing fatigue and increasing endurance (13). Some patients have low physical activity due to fear avoidance beliefs or anxiety about pain.…”

The most common symptoms of chronic venous disease (CVD) are pain, heaviness, and discomfort. The less common symptoms include throbbing, pressure, fatigue, swelling, cramps, itching, restless legs, tingling, and burning. However, these symptoms are not specific for chronic venous disease, since they are common in the general population, especially the elderly, and they can be observed in many other conditions. Notably, their absence does not rule out the possibility of CVD. By definition, pain is subjective. A particular pain stimulus may not cause the same pain in the same individual. Subjects have the ability to determine a pain threshold, either by raising or lowering it. However, clinicians must pay attention to the pain objectively. Pain is a short-term consequence of venous hypoxia, while varicose dilatation appears in the later stages of chronic venous disease. The fact that pain does not correlate closely with varicose dilatation suggests that the site of primary activation of venous pain receptors may be absent in relatively large veins. If hypoxia is an important cause of pain, you may experience lower extremity pain or difficulty in walking under several hypoxia-related situations, such as when standing or sitting for long periods of time, at the end of the day, at certain times during the menstrual cycle, osteoarthritis, etc. In C0 and C1 patients who complain of pain, we should consider whether conservative treatments, such as medication, compression, and exercise, should be prioritized for pain control rather than surgical treatment.

“…3 For an extended period, CVI may decrease the quality of life of the patient because of immobility and symptoms that patients experience. 4 The treatment strategy for CVI has been established, and there are several strategies depends on the severity of the disease. Conservational methods, such as pharmacological therapy and compressive stocking therapy could be given.…”
