Objective: To investigate the effects of Chinese medicine on chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Method: One hundred fifteen CFS patients meeting the inclusive criteria were enrolled from March 2008 to April 2010 and randomized into two groups. The 62 patents in the treated group were orally treated with Shenjing Recipe(200 mL of decoction)
for 100 mL twice daily. The 53 patients in the control group were treated with vitamin B tablets (10 mg twice daily)
and Oregano tablets(20 mg thrice a day). Result: After treatment the difference in scores of fatigue symptoms between the two groups was significant (P<0.01)
the scores of various SCL-90 factors and the total scores significantly reduced in the treated group after treatment (P<0.01). Conclusion: Shenjing recipe shows superiority in treating CFS.
