ABSTRACT: Background of the Clinical Issue: Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is an infection-associated neurological illness characterized by post-exertional malaise (PEM): increased symptoms after exertion, with loss of functional capacity. Approximately half of the 65 million people with Long COVID worldwide meet the diagnostic criteria for ME/CFS, making this a crucial area for healthcare education research. Pacing is the recommended activity management strategy for people with PEM, but patient education is often insufficient. Medical providers may not teach pacing or may fail to provide comprehensive guidance for this fundamental behavioral shift. Additionally, those with lived experience best understand the complexities of pacing.
