Tiredness and fatigue is one of the alarm signal to convey important abnormalities of the body. "Dull", "tough" to be aware of the feeling that his body has been triggered. Such physiological fatigue is usually by a rest to some extent, restored to normal, it does not last long.
However, even when they encounter an obstacle or if the autonomic nervous system diseases such as flu-affected, but awareness of fatigue, tiredness and fatigue due to physiological disease, unlike just a rest that is characterized not revived in.
In 1999, the ministry study group to examine the reality of fatigue in Japan (Group Leader: Kiya Teruo Osaka), Nagoya area residents general fatigue epidemiological study of 4,000 subjects (3,015 valid responses), I made a , 59.1% people are aware of fatigue, with 35.8% of people now clear that permitted chronic fatigue for more than six months. Nearly half of people with chronic fatigue were aware of its ability to decrease their lives, people who are suffering from a condition of chronic fatigue syndrome seriously interfere with daily life and social life showed 0.3% are.
The following year, 2,180 patients at medical examination conducted a survey on those whose fatigue, showed 45% in patients with chronic fatigue, more than half the patients had some kind of an obstacle in daily life , one can identify the disease even if the doctor was only examined about 40 percent. Therefore, the practice of unexplained chronic fatigue is also becoming one of the key challenges facing the 21st century medical care.
I tried to calculate the pure economic loss due to chronic fatigue fatigue epidemiological survey in Japan in 1999 based on the guidelines of the Ministry of Economy, pointed out that annually about 1.2 trillion yen, ranging, in terms of economic loss has proven to be a major social problem. Thus, despite the expected number of patients who have been suffering from chronic fatigue, fatigue clinic and running around the well is not. The biggest reason is to objectively evaluate the fatigue depends not established diagnostic criteria.
Then, in April 2009, gathered more typical medical research and we are tired, the ministry "to establish a diagnosis of fatigue and objective evaluation method for patients complaining of chronic fatigue with abnormal autonomic Create a guide, "research team (Principal Investigator: Hisashi Hirohiko barn) was born. Here, oxidative stress ratings and autonomic nervous system, viral tests, fatigue factor, establish biomarkers visual fatigue using a procedure different analysis, and brain function, to formulate guidelines for diagnosis of chronic fatigue in FY2011 aims to.
In tiredness Annual Meeting of Japan Society for the 6th meeting, "The research so far has been fatigue-fatigue recovery of the economy" industrial fatigue and fatigue evaluation of an objective diagnostic method has been shown recently the subject of anti-corporate and research efforts to introduce fatigue symposium also covered a similar condition of fibromyalgia are chronic fatigue syndrome. Scientific treatment of fatigue in general, not only for improving the quality of medical and scientific development, we sincerely hope that the people who serve you more.
