Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Patients with a diagnosis of chronic fatigue or pain benefit minimally from a conventional medical evaluation yet consume a large amount of medical resources and time. The question is to see if patients with a diagnosis of chronic pain or fatigue benefit from an Integrative Medicine medical evaluation conducted by physician who has additional training in Integrative Medicine. Patients who call for a general medical examination with a complaint of chronic fatigue or pain will be set up with the integrative medical specialist or standard general medical evaluation.

Study Groups

Integrative

Integrative Medical care is defined as a comprehensive medical evaluation that emphasizes wellness and healing of the whole person as major goals above and beyond suppression of a specific somatic disease. The patient is viewed as a whole person with mind and spirit as well as body and these dimensions are incorporated into diagnosis and treatment plans. An integrative medicine evaluation includes four aspects of health: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. Maximum improvement in health is achieved by addressing each aspect through an integrated treatment plan. The evaluation generally takes 90-120 minutes.
