Objectives : The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture for chronic fatigue syndrome and idiopathic chronic fatigue.

Methods : A randomized, controlled pilot trial was conducted. Twenty-four participants were randomized into one of the two groups: an acupuncture group(n=12) and wait-list group(n=12). The treatment group received 12 sessions of acupuncture over 4 weeks. Eight points(GV20; bilateral GB20, BL11, BL13, BL15, BL18, BL20, and BL23) were selected for needling. The control group did not receive acupuncture treatment during study period and follow-up were done in the 5th and 9h weeks after randomization in both groups. The primary outcome was fatigue severity scale(FSS) and the secondary outcomes included a short form of stress response inventory(SRI-short form), beck depression inventory(BDI), and insomnia severity index(ISI). Safety was assessed at every visit.

Results : There were statistically significant differences in the between group values of FSS at 5th weeks after randomization(p=0.0002), SRI-short form, BDI, and ISI at 5th, 9th weeks after randomization(p<0.01). There were no adverse events.

Conclusions : The results suggest that acupuncture is associated with benefits on the short-term outcomes in chronic fatigue syndrome and idiopathic chronic fatigue.
