What is Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
The life of 996 and 007 makes “I’m so tired” become the normal state of modern people. Some people are full of energy after a sleep, while others are still exhausted after getting up, chaotic and powerless for several months, exhausted physically and mentally, even in the face of the things they used to love to do, they are still exhausted. Spirit, not interested. They may be suffering from “chronic fatigue syndrome”.
The incidence of chronic fatigue syndrome is mainly concentrated in people aged 30 to 50. Studies have found that the incidence of women is about twice that of men, especially women with high self-motivation and higher education level. . The survey shows that in the occupational distribution, scientific researchers engaged in mental labor have a higher prevalence rate, while farmers and workers engaged in manual labor have a lower prevalence rate; another survey also found that those engaged in finance, foreign trade, sales, computer software People who are highly competitive and stressed, such as development, have a higher prevalence.
Therefore, we can see from the above that chronic fatigue syndrome is more common in mental workers, as well as people with high work pressure and strong self-motivation.
In fact, chronic fatigue syndrome was originally named “Epstein-Barr virus syndrome”. was the definite cause of morbidity, so it was replaced by its current name, and the International Classification of Diseases classified chronic fatigue syndrome as a central nervous system disorder.
Stem Cell Therapy for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Because the etiology and pathogenesis of chronic fatigue syndrome are unknown, and the symptoms are complex and diverse, there is no unified clinical treatment plan. At present, the conventional treatment methods mainly include comprehensive interventions such as drug therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and exercise therapy, but they can only help patients relieve symptoms and cannot achieve the purpose of cure.
Stem cells are the origin cells of the human body. They have many abilities of differentiation, tissue repair, and immune balance regulation, which make them show good therapeutic effects on many diseases.
From the relevant clinical research and application of Wanhai cells, there are many chronic fatigue syndrome and sub-healthy people who experience fatigue relief and high energy after receiving stem cell intervention;
A study using “stem cell transplantation to relieve physical fatigue in mice” showed that stem cell transplantation has the effect of relieving physical fatigue in mice, and the activity of brain wave signals in mice is 3.6 times that of the control group.
Sleep disturbance is also one of the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome. The researchers included 19 patients with chronic insomnia who were treated with stem cell therapy. After 1 year of stem cell therapy, the patient’s sleep quality, sleep disturbance and daytime dysfunction continued to improve, and there were no obvious adverse reactions during the treatment. Stem cell therapy has proven effective in improving sleep quality.
A study published in the American Journal of Nuclear Medicine investigated 9 patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (average age 38.4 years) and 10 Inflammatory status in the brain in healthy individuals (mean age 39.1 years). The results showed that compared with healthy people, the thalamus, midbrain, pons, hippocampus, amygdala, cingulate gyrus and other parts of the brain of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome had extensive inflammation, and the deeper the inflammation, the more chronic fatigue. The more severe the symptoms of the syndrome. This shows that chronic fatigue syndrome has a profound relationship with inflammation in the brain.
The inflammatory environment will lead to the decline of brain function, and the decline of brain function will lead to the decline of memory. Inflammation is a major feature of stem cells. After stem cells are transplanted, they can follow the inflammatory characteristics to reach the inflammatory site of immune disorder. , to repair the tissue microenvironment and improve the inflammatory state of tissues and organs. Researchers from the Einstein College of Medicine have reversed brain decline by injecting hypothalamic stem cells from newborn mice into the hypothalamus of middle-aged mice. Mice injected with stem cells had better cognitive and muscle function and lived 10 percent longer than mice injected with other types of brain cells.
Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease with unknown etiology and a combination of factors. Stem cells will homing according to the microenvironment of the human body, and carry out damage to damaged tissues through related mechanisms such as chemotaxis. Repair, the future will be a new option for the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome.
