Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of healthful moxibustion in treating chronic fatigue syndrome. Methods Sixty patients with chronic fatigue syndrome were treated with healthful moxibustion. Pre-treatment and post-treatment symptom scores were compared and the clinical therapeutic effect was evaluated. Results There were statistically significant differences in the symptom scores between at the end of treatment or 30 days after treatment and before treatment （P〈0.01）, and between at 30 days after treatment and at the end of treatment （P〈0.01,P〈0.05）. The total efficacy rate was 73.3% at the end of treatment and 90.0% at 30 days after treatment; there was a statistically significant difference between the two （P〈0.05）. Conclusion Healthful moxibustion is an effective way to treat chronic fatigue syndrome.
