Chronic fatigue syndrome

A multidisciplinary therapeutic approach for patients with CFS should be based on four key elements:

• General information about the condition (including sleep hygiene and advice on nutrition)
• Gradually increasing aerobic exercise, according to tolerance
• These measures should be tailored to the individual's personal characteristics and the evolutionary stages of the clinical condition.
• Cognitive behavioural therapy
• Pharmacological treatment of the main symptoms and related comorbidities. These measures may help most patients, although individual responses may vary widely.
