Biopsychological Intervention in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - a Pilot Study
This is a pilot study of a biopsychological intervention program for adolescent chronic fatigue syndrome. The program is related to cognitive behavioral therapy, which has been proven beneficial in this disorders, but includes other mental techniques, such as emotional control and metacognitive elaboration.
The aim of this pilot study is to explore a) patients' experiences and b) possible positive effects on symptoms. We hypothesise that the intervention will be regarded feasible by the patients, and that fatigue score will improve during the intervention period.
