Abstract: Chronic fatigue syndrome(CFS)is a chronic,multi-system disease manifested as prolonged fatigue and often accompanied by somatization symptoms that include muscle pain and sleep disorders,which is why CFS impacts patients'life and health.However,the etiology of CFS remains unknown.There is no specific treatment as well.Treatments currently available mostly use specific medicines to treat specific symptoms or assist clinicians by such means as cognitive-behavioral therapies or nutritional support.While on long-distance voyages,the Navy soldiers spend a long time in relatively closed environments under high pressure,which is likely to result in physical and mental fatigue and even CFS.This paper reviews the causes,current level of diagnosis,as well as the treatment and prevention of CFS in order to contribute to the health and operational capability of Navy soldiers.
