만성피로증후군은 잠깐의 휴식으로 회복되지 않는다. 예전에는 운동이 만성피로증후군을 악화시키는 것으로 생각했지만, 최근에는 유연성 운동, 스트레칭 등이 만성피로증후군 환자들의 증상 개선에 영향을 준다는 연구 결과가 발표되고 있다.

The authors identified a treatment-resistant patient with chronic fatigue syndrome, characterized by chronic fatigue, headache, unrefreshing sleep. Some studies reported that chronic fatigue syndrome was associated with affective disorder, especially seasonal affective disorder and many studies reported that bright light therapy was effective in seasonal affective disorder. But efficacy of light therapy for chronic fatigue syndrome was rarely reported. We treated the patient with morning light treatment using 2500lux light box, the clinical symptoms in this case were improved. The authors suggest that the light therapy can be a treatment modality for chronic fatigue syndrome.

현대인들은 매일매일 반복된 나날을 보낸다. 일을 하다보면 몸은 천근만근이고 어느새 또 하루가 저문다. 그렇게 일상에서의 스트레스와 피로를 쌓아가 결국에는 아침이 와도 눈을 뜨고 자리에서 일어나는게 힘들어진다. 풀리지 않는 피로, 어떻게 하면 좋아질 수 있을까 하고 영양제도 챙겨 먹어 보지만 기대만큼 쉽게 달라지지 않는다. 만성피로, 과연 무엇이 문제일까?

피로(疲勞)의 사전적 의미는 과로로 인해 정신이나 몸이 지쳐 힘든 상태를 말한다. 과도한 업무나 스트레스, 수면부족, 지나친 음주 등으로 인해 신체 리듬이 깨지면 피곤함을 쉽게 느끼게 된다. 대부분 충분한 휴식을 취하면 피곤함이 덜어지는데 휴식을 취해도 1개월 이상 피로가 계속되면 지속성(prolonged)피로, 6개월 이상 지속되면 만성(chronic)피로를 분류된다.

The prevalence of overuse syndrome in the lower extremity including chronic compartment syndrome and stress fracture is increasing with popularity of sports activities. Chronic compartment syndrome is defined as elevation of the interstitial pressure during exertional activities in a closed osseofascial compartment that results in microvascular compromise and operative procedures can be necessary if conservative treatments fail. Stress fracture can be classified as fatigue and insufficiency fracture; stress fracture occurs by repeated strain under abnormal conditions from the patient's activity whereas insufficiency fracture does by those from a process intrinsic to the bone. Most stress fractures occur in the lower extremity, most commonly in the tibial region. Fatigue fractures begin in athletes with the change in their training programs. The radiographic findings are usually diagnostic or at least strongly suggestive and MRI has proven to be a beneficial diagnostic tool for difficult diagnostic cases. Fatigue fractures are treated with a decrease in activity, but surgical procedure may be necessary in those in anterior cortex of the tibial diaphysis.

비타민 C가 부족할 때 피로, 무력감, 우울증 등이 생길 수 있다. 따라서 만성피로증후군처럼 피로를 많이 느끼는 경우에는 비타민 C를 충분히 섭취하는 것이 도움된다.

Chronic fatigue syndrome(CFS) is a complex, debilitating disorder characterized by at least 6 months of severe persistent of relapsing fatigue and a group of characteristic but nonspecific symptoms. Many researchers have proposed that CFS has a specific cause. However currently no evidence exists that proves either a specific cause of CFS. And there is no diagnostic test for CFS. The diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome is based on the patient's history, excluding other illnesses In the absence of consistent biological markers, the diagnosis of CFS arises from operational criteria that do not afford validity. The prognosis is poor and often disability and impairment of daily function and performance are prolonged. A limited understanding of the CFS has complicated the management of this disorder. Therefore, treatment of CFS may be variable and should be tailored to each patient. Therapy should include exercise, diet, good sleep hygiene, antidepressants, and other medications, depending on the patient's presentation. Regular follow-up is key to continue to exclude other medical problems and provide support for patients. Chronic fatigue syndrome is a challenging illness to manage and requires a team approach of caring providers. For the majority of patients this is a chronic illness with the goals of therapy being to improve functional status and to prevent disability. Further understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of this illness should lead to better specific therapy.
