Fatigeforløbet

Fatigeforløbet, which translates to "fatigue course" or "fatigue management program" in English, refers to a structured approach designed to help individuals understand, manage, and potentially overcome persistent fatigue. These programs are often multidisciplinary, incorporating various therapeutic strategies to address the complex nature of fatigue, which can stem from physical, psychological, or medical causes.

The core aim of a fatigeforløb is to equip individuals with tools and knowledge to improve their energy levels and overall quality of life. This typically involves an assessment phase to identify contributing factors to the fatigue, followed by tailored interventions. Common components include education about the physiology of fatigue, energy management techniques, pacing strategies to balance activity and rest, and sometimes cognitive behavioral therapy to address any associated anxiety or depression.

Physical activity is often a key element, but it is introduced gradually and adapted to the individual's current capacity, aiming to build tolerance and prevent post-exertional malaise. Nutritional guidance may also be provided. The programs emphasize self-management and empowerment, encouraging participants to actively engage in their recovery process. A fatigeforløb is not a one-size-fits-all solution and is adapted to the specific needs and underlying causes of each individual's fatigue.
