“…chronic fatigue syndrome. Despite the fact that this trial somewhat controversial (see correspondence 1,11,[16][17][18]22,23,28,44,47,48,50,58,61,81,82,85,94,102,107,108 ), these studies indicate that, relative to EC and usual care, both OL and graded exercises provided greater improvements in symptoms and function while also being associated with a higher recovery rate after a year.…”

“…Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is among the most widely studied and has shown mixed results for reducing illness burden and improving patients’ mental and physical health [17–22]. CBT approaches designed to decrease avoidance of physical activity and to increase physical activity in a graded fashion in patients with chronic fatigue [21], have generated much current interest, though controversy remains concerning the sampling approach and outcome variables used in these studies [23, 24]. Whether this form of CBT will ultimately show to be efficacious in patients diagnosed with CFS remains to be seen, though it should be pointed out that reviews of CBT-based interventions used to date in this population do not support increases in physical activity as the underlying mechanism of action.…”

Objective Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) symptoms have been shown to be exacerbated by stress and ameliorated by group-based psychosocial interventions such as cognitive behavioral stress management (CBSM). Still, patients may have difficulty attending face-to-face groups. This study compared the effects of a telephone-delivered (T-CBSM) vs a live (L-CBSM) group on perceived stress and symptomology in adults with CFS. Methods Intervention data from 100 patients with CFS (mean age 50 years; 90% female) participating in T-CBSM (N = 56) or L-CBSM (N = 44) in previously conducted randomized clinical trials were obtained. Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention symptom checklist scores were compared with repeated measures analyses of variance in adjusted and unadjusted analyses. Results Participants across groups showed no differences in most demographic and illness variables at study entry and had similar session attendance. Both conditions showed significant reductions in PSS scores, with L-CBSM showing a large effect (partial ε2=.16) and T-CBSM a medium effect (partial ε2=.095). For CFS symptom frequency and severity scores, L-CBSM reported large effect size improvements (partial ε2=.19–.23), while T-CBSM showed no significant changes over time. Conclusions Two different formats for delivering group-based CBSM—live and telephone—showed reductions in perceived stress among patients with CFS. However, only the live format was associated with physical symptom improvements, with specific effects on post-exertional malaise, chills, fever, and restful sleep. The added value of the live group format is discussed, along with implications for future technology-facilitated group interventions in this population.
