简要总结
The purpose of this study is to verify the efficacy of taking red ginseng for chronic fatigue patient.
详细描述
Verify the efficacy and safety after taking red ginseng for chronic fatigue syndrome or idiopathic chronic fatigue patient. They were verified through not only survey like VAS change about fatigue, fatigue severity scale, Chalder fatigue severity questionnaire, SRI-short form , BDI , ISI EQ-5D-5L, ginseng subjective symptoms questionnaire but also an anti-oxidant test and a salivary cortisol test after 6 weeks after taking red ginseng or placebo drugs.
