Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is characterized by persistent fatigue, which often leads to physical and psychological damage. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is considered to be one of the most effective treatments. Prolong life with nine turn method (PLWNT) Qigong is a combination of complex two-way traffic path connecting the cognitive center and the enteric nerves. In this study protocol, we will explore the effectiveness of PLWNT for physical and mental fatigue, gastrointestinal function, depression, and sleep quality in patients with CFS using clinical effectiveness scales and functional magnetic imaging (fMRI).
