Cognitive behavioral therapy found to be beneficial for patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome

Researchers from Amsterdam UMC and King’s College London have shown that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is beneficial for those with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). They analyzed data from trials involving almost 1,300 patients and found that CBT led to a reduction in fatigue and physical limitations. These results are published today in Psychological Medicine.
