Cost-effectiveness of chronic fatigue self-management versus usual care: a pilot randomized controlled trial

Conclusion:
This economic evaluation found initial evidence that a two-session brief CBT-based FSM may be cost-effective as compared to usual care over 12?months. The FSM intervention is potentially a promising intervention for chronic fatigue patients in primary care. Additional research is needed to examine the reproducibility and generalizability of these findings.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov (NCT00997451, March 28, 2009).
