The utility of patient-reported outcome measures among patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome
Debilitating fatigue is a core symptom of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS); however, the utility of patient-reported symptom outcome measures of fatigue for ME/CFS patients is probl...
