Implication

This editorial provides an overview of recent research on the multidimensional aspects of fatigue, emphasizing the need for further studies to improve care for patients with debilitating conditions like ME/CFS.

Key Points

The editorial reviews the complex nature of fatigue, examining its physiological and pathological dimensions.
Reviewed 91 studies on global fatigue prevalence involving over 623,000 participants.
Analyzed neural correlates of fatigue using modern brain imaging techniques.
Discussed various approaches for fatigue management, including breathing exercises.
Estimated 6% of minors and 15% of adults globally report fatigue, with women experiencing higher rates.
Patients with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome show exacerbated symptoms from low-intensity stressors.
Significant stigma exists towards individuals with fatigue, often labeling them as 'hypersensitive' or having a 'weak will.'
