简要总结

The purpose of this study IS to

  • explore the underlying pathophysiology of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) in adolescents, particularly focusing on genetics, infections/immunology, endocrinology, autonomic control and cognitions
  • to assess the effect of clonidine (a drug that attenuates sympathetic nervous activity) in adolescent CFS.

接受健康志愿者

入选标准

  • Persisting or constantly relapsing fatigue lasting 3 months or more.
  • Functional disability resulting from fatigue to a degree that prevent normal school attendance

排除标准

  • Another disease process or current demanding life event that might explain the fatigue
  • Another chronic disease (in particular pheochromocytoma, polyneuropathy, Renal insufficiency)
  • Permanent use of pharmaceuticals (including hormone drugs)
  • Permanently bed-ridden
  • Positive pregnancy test
  • Evidence of reduced cerebral and/or peripheral circulation due to vessel disease
  • Know hypersensitivity towards clonidine or inert substances (lactose, sakkarose) in capsula
  • Abnormal ECG (in particular bradyarrythmias due to sick sinus syndrome or AV-block. Isolated ectopic beats do not lead to exclusion)
  • Supine heart rate < 50 beats/min
  • Supine systolic blood pressure < 85 mmHg
  • Systolic blood pressure fall upon standing > 30 mmHg
