In Britain, research experts completed a new study that examined the potential for cognitive behavior therapy and exercise in relieving the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). What they discovered won't surprise many patients, and it confirms what doctors have been saying all along.
The British study suggests that individuals who suffer from CFS receive benefits when they combine standard medication and treatment with exercise and/or behavior therapy.
Well-known benefits of regular exercise:
- Improved heart and lung function
- Reduced stress
- Weight loss
- Better sleep
- Elevated mood
For those who don't enjoy exercise, the news may not be so exiting. However, in general it is excellent news for CFS patients, as CFS is a condition commonly associated with symptoms such as sleep problems, memory and concentration impairments, excessive exhaustion and fatigue and pain in the joints and muscles.
The new research supports recommendations that had previously been controversial, including the idea that by incrementally modifying the type and amount of physical activity and improving one's attitude, a person can positively affect his or her wellbeing.
In an online version of The Lancet, London School of Medicine's Dr. Peter D. White stated that chronic fatigue syndrome patients who received exercise therapy or cognitive behavior therapy noticed less fatigue and improved overall function when compared to those who only received traditional medical care from their specialist or physician.
Despite these finding, experts are still at a quandary as to what causes chronic fatigue syndrome. The good news for patients is that behavioral therapy can help patients back away from long-held fears that physical activity will only worsen their symptoms.
As a result of the study's findings, experts encourage patients and their doctors to take a more creative approach to treatment by combining new therapies and alternative options in order to select a treatment schedule that brings maximum benefits for patients. Those with CFS should be encouraged by these results and feel more confident about including physical activity in their daily routines.
