31、 at the time of screening.,Subjects / Methods,1092 veterans who satisfied the eligibility criteria and gave written informed consent were randomized to one of four treatment arms: 1) CBT alone, 2) exercise alone, 3) CBT + exercise, or 4) usual care. Both CBT and exercise were delivered in groups of

32、three to eight participants. CBT Treatment sessions were 60-90 minutes long and met weekly for 12 weeks. Exercise prescriptions focusing on low impact exercise were individualized for each participant after they performed a submaximal cycle ergometer exercise test at baseline. Veterans in the exerci

33、se group were asked to exercise once/wk in the presence of the exercise therapist, and 2 3X / wk independently during the 12-week treatment phase.,Outcome measures,Treatments were given for three months using standard protocols and participants were evaluated at baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months. The pri

Exercise, with or without CBT, resulted in improvement in fatigue, cognitive symptoms, distress and mental health functioning.
