Review abstract:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)\/myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) negatively impacts the quality of life for children with the condition. Although up to 2% of children have CFS\/ME, the bulk of research investigates adults with CFS\/ME. Using the PRISMA extension for a scoping review and the work of Arksey and O’Malley (2005), a scoping review was conducted of all relevant peer-reviewed research investigating nutrition, exercise, and psychosocial factors within a pediatric population diagnosed with CFS\/ME.<\/p>\n

Key themes found were nutrition and dietary components, exercise therapy, psychosocial factors, and multifaceted treatment. Nutrition was explored on its own as a tool to decrease symptoms; however, there were very few studies found to examine nutritional deficiency or treatment with those under the age of 18.<\/p>\n

Graded exercise and resistance training improved fatigue severity and symptoms of depression in adolescents with CFS\/ME. Research exploring psychosocial factors of CFS\/ME presented attributes that could lead to being diagnosed as well as barriers to treatment. The multifaceted treatment undertaken typically consists of graded activities\/exercise, cognitive behavioral therapy, nutritional advice, and family sessions. This has shown to increase school attendance and decrease the severity of the fatigue for adolescents.<\/p>\n

Minimal literature exploring CFS\/ME within a prepubescent population presents the need for further research.<\/p>\n
