Cognitive behavioral therapy and exercise minimally help Gulf War veterans' illnesses

Gary Luttermoser. J Fam Pract. 2003 Jun.

Abstract

Cognitive behavioral therapy and aerobic exercise provide only modest relief from symptoms of Gulf War veterans' illnesses. Unfortunately, over 80% of the patients showed no improvement of symptoms after 1 year of either or both treatments. With the Iraqi war ending, the outcomes of veterans of this previous conflict may prove significant.
