First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new, team-based rehabilitation program for 125 working-age adults with persistent physical symptoms and chronic fatigue. The program includes doctors, therapists, and counselors who work together to help patients manage their symptoms and improve daily function. Researchers will track quality of life and symptom changes over one year to see if this approach reduces unnecessary medical tests and helps patients cope better.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could provide a practical model for helping people with chronic fatigue and functional disorders manage their symptoms and reduce unnecessary medical visits.
- What could go wrong
