Exercise may help patients with chronic fatigue syndrome
Increasing activity and physical exercise may improve the quality of life and the ability to function in some patients with chronic fatigue syndrome, according to a new report from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).

The report was conducted for AHRQ by the San Antonio Evidence-Based Practice Center at the University of Texas Health Science Center and the Veterans Evidence-Based Research, Dissemination, and Implementation Center.
