Article Synopsis
- - Cross-national studies help identify unique traits of complex illnesses like myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), which are prevalent globally but under-researched across different countries.
- - The research compared functional impairment and symptoms in ME and CFS patients from the US (235 participants) and Spain (185 participants), using standardized health surveys to evaluate their conditions.
- - Results showed that Spanish patients experienced worse functioning and more severe symptoms than their US counterparts, potentially influenced by differences in disability policies, medical perceptions, and access to care in each country.
