DePaul Symptom Questionnaire - Post Exertional Malaise 2018 Version - 10 Item

**Semantic type:** Intellectual Product

**Definition:** A standardized 10-item questionnaire developed by Colter et al in 2018 as an updated version of a standardized five-item questionnaire originally developed in 2010 to assess symptoms of post exertional malaise (PEM) in patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis and chronic fatigue (ME/CFS). The updated measure utilizes a five-point rating scale and includes five supplementary items focused on symptom duration and recovery to better distinguish PEM associated with ME/CFS from other fatigue-related conditions.
