Why Should ACT Work When CBT Has Failed? a Study Assessing Acceptability and Feasibility of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for Paediatric Patients With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME)

[摘要] Aims Paediatric chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) effects 0.5–3.28% of children. NICE guidance recommends Activity Management, Graded Exercise Therapy or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for fatigue (CBT-f). Approximately 15% of patients do not achieve full recovery within one year with current treatments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an effective treatment in many chronic illnesses. There are no studies investigating ACT for paediatric CFS/ME. This feasability study aimed to assess if ACT is a feasible and acceptable alternative treatment when current treatment has not led to recovery.
