Declining or Waning
- Traditional Biomedical Interventions:
There is a noticeable decrease in studies focusing solely on traditional biomedical approaches to fatigue treatment, as the emphasis shifts towards more integrative and holistic approaches. - Generalized Fatigue Studies:
Research that addresses fatigue in a generalized context without specific links to chronic conditions or post-viral syndromes is less frequently published, indicating a move towards more targeted studies. - Fatigue in Non-Chronic Conditions:
Investigations into fatigue experienced in non-chronic or acute conditions have become less prominent, suggesting a narrowing of focus to chronic fatigue syndromes and related long-term fatigue issues.
