Characterization, Treatment, and Long-term Follow-up of Fatigued Patients in Primary Care

"The treatment is based on a treatment manual that has previously been evaluated in several randomized controlled trials for persistently fatigued patients with various types of chronic somatic disorders (primarily in specialized healthcare settings).~In this trial we have translated the treatment manual to Swedish and adopted it for implementation in a Swedish primary care setting. The treatment format is blended, meaning that the treatment is administered both via an online platform (where the participant can communicate with the therapist through asynchronous text-messages) and via face-to-face therapy sessions with the therapist."

Since there are no standardized, structured care programs and guidelines for the patient group, CAU may include a broad variety of psychosocial support, psychological treatment, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, pharmacological treatment, follow-up within specialist healthcare, and/or follow-up by general practitioners. An important aim of the project is to carefully map the content and scope of the care offered to patients in the study within the framework of CAU.
