“…24 Several theories implicate the body's stress hormonal systems as the basis of CFS/ME; it has been suggested for example that the condition arises from the same physiological processes as those that occur in 'burnout'. 25 It could therefore be hypothesised that the improvement in well-being found in this study could lead to a reduction in fatigue in the long term. This requires further research.…”

Objectives: This study aimed to explore the experience of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) aimed at better management of chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME), rather than increasing activity.Design: This was a qualitative study using grounded theory analysis.Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 adults who had engaged in CBT at a specialist CFS/ME service in which CBT is aimed at improved management of the condition.Results: A model was produced in which participants felt more able to cope with CFS/ME. Reduced fatigue did not seem to be a necessary precondition to managing. This has implications for CBT for CFS/ME. Conclusions: Specialist CBT for CFS/ME may result in improved coping and reduced distress, independently of changes in fatigue.Patient or Public Contribution: The researcher met with a representative from the university's service user advisory group (SAGE), who had lived experience of CFS/ ME. They commented on possible questions for the interview topic guide and provided advice on ways in which ethical issues specific to CFS/ME could be considered, for example, prevention of harm during interviews. Second, for quality assurance as part of respondent validation, a proposed draft of the grounded theory was discussed with participants.

The 2007 guidance states that CBT for CFS/ME should incorporate some components aimed specifically at reducing the core symptom of fatigue, including supporting gradual increases in activity and 'challenging thoughts and expectations that may affect symptom improvement'.

“…Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is characterized by persistent crippling fatigue for 6 months or more, and usually leads to physical and cognitive difficulties [1–3] . The incidence of CFS in adults is between 0.007% and 2.8%, and it is higher in women, about 4 times higher than in men [4] . It is reported that an estimated 836,000 and 2.5 million Americans suffer from CFS, and the unemployment rate of patients with CFS is between 35% and 69%, and the loss of personal income of patients’ families is about $20,000 a year, causing serious economic losses [5] .…”

Background:Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a common disease and characterized by fatigue, exhaustion, heavy limbs, and dizziness. Tuina, as a traditional Chinese manual therapy, is usually used for CFS in China. Several studies have reported that Tuina can improve fatigue exhaustion, and dizziness of patients with CFS. However, the effects of Tuina for CFS still remain controversial. Therefore, the current systematic review and meta-analysis will be conducted to investigate the effects of Tuina in the management of CFS.Methods:The comprehensive electronic search of PubMed, Web of Science, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, Embase, Cochrane Library, Chinese Science Citation Database, Technology Periodical Database from their inception to October 2021 will be conducted. Randomized controlled trials of Tuina for CFS will be included in the review. Two independent reviewers will complete the study selection, data extraction, and the risk of bias. The meta-analysis will be conducted using the Review Manager Version 5.3 software. The heterogeneity will be assessed using the I2 statistic and Q statistic. The standardized mean difference and 95% confidence intervals will be calculated based on different heterogeneity. The subgroup analysis will be conducted based on the duration of treatment, age, gender, duration of CFS. Quality of evidence will be assessed using the Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation.Results:The current systematic review and meta-analysis will be to investigate the effects of Tuina in the management of CFS.Conclusion:The conclusion of this study will provide the evidence for the treatment of CFS in the future. It is expected that the conclusions drawn from this review will benefit patients, clinical practitioners and policy makers.
