Few studies have used measures appropriate to assessing whether cognitive behavioural therapy changes in more objective measures.<\/p>\n<p>A review of studies incorporating objective measures suggests that there is a lack of evidence that cognitive behavioural therapy produces any improvement in a patient\u2019s physical capabilities or other objective measures such as return to work.<\/p>\n<p>Future studies of chronic fatigue syndrome\/myalgic encephalomyelitis should include some objective assessments as primary outcomes.
