1. Andrew Andrew Australia says:

    Patients didn't increase their activity levels because they often can't do so without an increase in symptoms.

    The same is observed in CBT (or graded exercise therapy) for CFS patients (where an increase in activity has not been observed either).

    Graded Exercise Therapy ironically is no better because patients are forced to substitute self-caring activities for exercise.

    Unfortunately, many of these patients will not be rehabilitated without efficacious pharmacological treatments being developed first.
