劳累后不适 (PEM) 是肌痛性脑脊髓炎 (ME) 和慢性疲劳综合征 (CFS) 的主要症状。定义 PEM 时有两个不同的焦点：全身疲劳和肌肉特异性疲劳。本研究旨在辨别 PEM 是否是一个统一的结构，还是由两个较小的结构（肌肉疲劳和全身疲劳）组成。对评估 PEM 的几种症状进行了探索性因素分析。结果表明，PEM 由两种不同的经验体验组成，一种针对全身性疲劳，另一种针对肌肉特异性疲劳。
Post-exertional malaise (PEM) is a cardinal symptom of myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). There are two differing focuses when defining PEM: a generalized, full-body fatigue and a muscle-specific fatigue. This study aimed to discern whether PEM is a unified construct or if it is composed of two smaller constructs, muscle fatigue and generalized fatigue. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted on several symptoms that assess PEM. The results suggest that PEM is composed of two empirically different experiences, one for generalized fatigue and one for muscle-specific fatigue.
