Correlates of illness worry in chronic fatigue syndrome.
BACKGROUND Anxiety about illness leading to restriction of activity and physical deconditioning has been hypothesized to contribute to the chronicity of fatigue. Pathological symptom attributions, personality traits, and depression have all been hypothesized to contribute to illness worry. METHODS We compared 45 chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and 40 multiple sclerosis (MS) outpatients using a...
متن کاملNeural correlates of the chronic fatigue syndrome--an fMRI study.
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is characterized by a debilitating fatigue of unknown aetiology. Patients who suffer from CFS report a variety of physical complaints as well as neuropsychological complaints. Therefore, it is conceivable that the CNS plays a role in the pathophysiology of CFS. The purpose of this study was to investigate neural correlates of CFS, and specifically whether there ex...
متن کاملThe neural correlates of fatigue: an exploratory imaginal fatigue provocation study in chronic fatigue syndrome.

The aim of this study was to explore the functional brain response, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), to the imaginal experience of fatigue in CFS patients and controls.

متن کاملACUPUNCTURE AND CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME About chronic fatigue syndrome

The prevalence of chronic fatigue syndrome has been estimated to be from 0.007% to 2.8% in the general adult population, and from 0.006% to 3.0% in primary care, depending on the criteria used (Afari 2003). ...
