Diagnostics

Detailed medical history

Physical examination and laboratory tests

This self-test is based on the Canadian Consensus Criteria, an internationally recognised scheme for the clinical diagnosis of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). It is important to understand that this test is not a substitute for a medical diagnosis by a professional. Instead, it is intended as a tool to help identify possible symptoms of ME/CFS and to understand whether further medical evaluation may be appropriate.

FUNCAP is a tool developed by a team of researchers specifically to assess functional capacity in ME. It can be used not only to accurately indicate the severity of ME, but also to track the course of the disease. It is therefore suitable for clinical diagnosis, tracking the course of the disease and assessing eligibility for disability benefits.
