Acupuncture alleviates chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Research
published in the Guangxi Medical Journal finds acupuncture effective for
the relief of fatigue, depression, and other symptoms of CFS. Chronic
fatigue syndrome is characterized by severe fatigue that does not
improve with rest. Additional signs and symptoms include memory loss,
cognitive impairment, sore throat, lymph node swelling, musculoskeletal
pain, and headaches. Etiologies may include viral infections, stress,
and other factors. The clinical trial reveals that a special type of
acupuncture has a high total effective rate and a significant total
recovery rate for patients with CFS.
Conventional acupuncture was compared with Qihuan acupuncture. The
total effective rate and total recovery rate were significant in both
groups. Although both forms were effective, Qihuan acupuncture produced a
higher percentage of positive patient outcomes as part of the total
effective rate. Conventional acupuncture produced an 80.85% total
effective rate and Qihuan acupuncture produced a 95.83% total effective
rate.
