Could an ADHD drug be the key to unlocking energy for chronic fatigue patients?

NCT ID NCT01071044

Summary

This study tested whether a stimulant medication called lisdexamfetamine could help reduce fatigue, pain, and thinking problems in people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). For 8 weeks, 26 adult participants were randomly assigned to receive either the medication or a placebo pill. Researchers measured changes in fatigue, pain, and cognitive function to see if the treatment provided meaningful symptom relief.
