Study Overview
Brief Summary
Patients with a diagnosis of chronic fatigue or pain benefit minimally from a conventional medical evaluation yet consume a large amount of medical resources and time. The question is to see if patients with a diagnosis of chronic pain or fatigue benefit from an Integrative Medicine medical evaluation conducted by physician who has additional training in Integrative Medicine. Patients who call for a general medical examination with a complaint of chronic fatigue or pain will be set up with the integrative medical specialist or standard general medical evaluation.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Short Form 36 (SF-36) Physical Component Summary (PCS)
Time Frame: 3 months
It yields an eight-scale profile of scores (physical functioning, social functioning, role-physical, role-emotional, bodily pain, general health, mental health, and vitality) as well as summary physical and mental measures (Ware et al., 1998). The Physical Component Summary ranges from 0 to 100, and higher score indicates better physical condition. It is based on norm-based scoring, which applies a transformation with mean equals to 50 and standard deviation equals to 10, and makes it possible to comparison.
Short Form 36 (SF-36) Mental Component Summary (MCS)
Time Frame: 3 months
It yields an eight-scale profile of scores (physical functioning, social functioning, role-physical, role-emotional, bodily pain, general health, mental health, and vitality) as well as summary physical and mental measures (Ware et al., 1998). The Mental Component Summary ranges from 0 to 100, and higher score indicates better mental health status. It is based on norm-based scoring, which applies a transformation with mean equals to 50 and standard deviation equals to 10, and makes it possible to comparison.
