Result and Conclusion1 Theory Research1.1 Epidemical study of CFSWith the development of the society and the severity of competition, the amount of CFS has been increased. In western countries CFS has been one of the five most important reasons to go to hospitals. Comparing the reports of the countries the distribution of CFS is different. The incidence of CFS is higher in developed countries than developing countries. It is also considered that the incidence will be higher with the time going on. And the ages of most sufferers are from 30 to 50. The relation between CFS and sex is uncertain. Besides, more CFS sufferers occur in the people who accepted higher education and have a good income. By now there is not epidemical research of CFS in Taiwan, but there have been more and more sufferers in clinics.1.2 The TCM theory research of liver's function in CFSArrange the TCM theory of liver'functiong and expound the importance of the liver in CFS from the four aspect: liver controlling dispersion, liver controlling tendon , liver storing blood , the liver meridian's circulation.CFS patients always have the syndrom of stagnation of liver-QI and deficiency of liver-blood.2.
