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

Myalgic encephalomyelitis\/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME\/CFS), is a chronic and often disabling disease. Although the exact pathophysiological mechanism of ME\/CFS is unknown, immunological abnormalities may play an important role.<\/p>\n

Curcumin<\/a> is an herb with powerful anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, we hypothesized that curcumin would have favorable effects on symptomatology in ME\/CFS patients. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In an open trial among 65 ME\/CFS participants, 6 stopped the use of curcumin because of side effects and 8 did not complete the end of study questionnaire. Before and 8 weeks after the use of curcumin complexed with phosphatidyl choline-, 500 mg bid, participants completed the CDC inventory for assessment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The CDC questions (n=19) were scored and divided into 2 parts: the first being specific for CFS complaints (n=9), the second being scores of less specific symptoms (n=10); denoted as CDC other score.<\/p>\n

Results showed that 8 weeks of curcumin significantly decreased the CDC CFS-related symptom scores and CDC other scores, especially in patients with mild disease.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong>: in this open-labeled study 8 week curcumin use in a phosphatidyl choline complex reduced ME\/CFS symptomatology, especially in patients with mild disease severity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
