[Abstract] Objective To compare the regional differences in resting-state functional MRI (fMRI) fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (fALFF) in the brains of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) accompanied by anxiety and depressive symptoms after treatment with the Prolong Life With Nine Turn (PLWNT) method versus cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).Materials and Methods Thirty CFS patients were randomly assigned to either the PLWNT group or the cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) group. FMRI was conducted after 12 weeks of treatment, and Pearson correlation analysis was employed to examine the linear relationship between changes in fALFF and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).Results Compared to the control group, fALFF decreased in the left fusiform gyrus, left suproccipital gyrus, and left angular gyrus. The right medial temporal gyrus showed increased brain activity. Anxiety symptom scores positively correlated with fALFF values in the fusiform gyrus (r=0.525, P=0.044) and occipital gyrus (r=0.559, P=0.030), while depression symptom scores positively correlated with fALFF values in the fusiform gyrus (r=0.542, P=0.037) (P<0.05).Conclusions The PLWNT may objectively reflect anxiety and depression symptoms in CFS patients through neural activity levels in the fusiform gyrus, occipital gyrus, angular gyrus, and middle temporal gyrus.
