Efficacy of cognitive-behavioural therapy by general practitioners for unexplained fatigue among employees: Randomised controlled trial.

Huibers, Marcus J H, Beurskens, Anna J H M, Van Schayck, Constant P et al.·The British journal of psychiatry : the journal of mental science·2004

This study tested whether a short course of talking therapy (cognitive-behavioural therapy) delivered by general doctors could help employees with persistent, unexplained fatigue who were on sick leave. Over one year, patients who received 5-7 sessions of this therapy showed no greater improvement in fatigue, work absences, or recovery than those who received no treatment. The therapy did not prove helpful for this type of fatigue.

A randomised, controlled, triple-blind trial of the efficacy of homeopathic treatment for chronic fatigue syndrome.

Ernst, E·Journal of psychosomatic research·2004

This study tested whether homeopathic treatment could help people with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) using a rigorous experimental design where neither patients nor doctors knew who received the real treatment. The researchers found that homeopathic treatment did not work better than placebo for reducing ME/CFS symptoms. This suggests that the perceived benefits some patients report may be due to the placebo effect rather than the homeopathic remedy itself.
