Functional level of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome reporting use of alternative vs. traditional treatments.
Background: Use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is common among patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), but whether it is viewed as more or less effective than traditional medicine is unclear.
Purpose: To evaluate patients' level of functioning based on the types of treatments they report using (i.e., traditional-only, CAM-only, or a combination of both).
Methods: Participants were recruited from physician referrals and media sources (newspaper, support groups), and 97 participants were retained for this analysis. Based on self-report, individuals were divided into three groups: using CAM-only (N=27), traditional medicine-only (N=22), or a combination of both treatments (N=58).
Results: Social functioning was significant (p<.01), with post-hoc analyses indicating significantly better social functioning for individuals taking CAM-only in comparison to patients using traditional-only or a combination of traditional and CAM treatments. Significantly fewer participants (p<.01) using CAM-only had a current psychiatric diagnosis.
Conclusions: These findings suggest using CAM-only treatments in CFS is associated with higher social functioning and fewer current psychiatric diagnoses. The results support the need for research to fully evaluate how CAM may affect functioning among individuals with CFS.
期刊介绍：
Fatigue: Biomedicine, Health and Behavior is an international, interdisciplinary journal that addresses the symptom of fatigue in medical illnesses, behavioral disorders, and specific environmental conditions. These broadly conceived domains, all housed in one journal, are intended to advance research on causation, pathophysiology, assessment, and treatment. The list of topics covered in Fatigue will include fatigue in diseases including cancer, autoimmune diseases, multiple sclerosis, pain conditions, mood disorders, and circulatory diseases. The journal will also publish papers on chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and related illnesses. In addition, submissions on specific issues involving fatigue in sleep, aging, exercise and sport, and occupations are welcomed. More generally, the journal will publish on the biology, physiology and psychosocial aspects of fatigue. The Editor also welcomes new topics such as clinical fatigue education in medical schools and public health policy with respect to fatigue.
