Alternative Therapies
Effective treatments for chronic fatigue syndrome include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and graded exercise therapy (GET), both of which have shown significant improvements in reducing fatigue and enhancing physical function. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and heart rate variability biofeedback therapy (HRV-BF) also show promise, particularly in alleviating fatigue and improving mental health. Additionally, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) can be beneficial for patients who do not fully recover with CBT alone. While some alternative therapies like yoga and certain supplements may offer benefits, further research is needed to confirm their efficacy.
