Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) remains a controversial medical disorder. A combination of poorly executed studies using variable case definitions and diagnostic criteria have led to controversial results. These controversies cloud our vision on CFS, and lead to scepticism and frustration among patients, doctors and researchers. For future perspective, interdisciplinary studies of high quality with large well-defined patient groups and adequate controls are needed.
慢性疲劳综合征（CFS）仍然是一种存在争议的医学病症。使用不同病例定义和诊断标准的一系列执行不佳的研究导致了有争议的结果。这些争议模糊了我们对慢性疲劳综合征的认识，并在患者、医生和研究人员中引发了怀疑和沮丧情绪。从未来的角度看，需要开展高质量的跨学科研究，研究对象要有大量明确界定的患者群体并设置适当的对照。
