== Institute of Medicine report (2015)== {{Main article | page_name =Institute of Medicine report}} February 15, 2015, The [[National Academy of Medicine]] (known as the [[Institute of Medicine]] or IOM until June 2015) published a report on ME/CFS, ''Beyond Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Redefining an Illness''<ref name="IOM2015">{{Cite book | url =http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK274235/ | title = Beyond Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Redefining an Illness | last = ((Committee on the Diagnostic Criteria for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome)) | last2 = ((Board on the Health of Select Populations)) | last3 = ((Institute of Medicine)) | date = 2015 | publisher = National Academies Press (US)|isbn=9780309316897|series=The National Academies Collection: Reports funded by National Institutes of Health|location=Washington (DC)|pmid=25695122}}</ref> proposing a new name β [[systemic exertion intolerance disease]] β and a new diagnostic criteria. It has since influenced government policy and healthcare for the disease in the United States and around the world.<ref name="NHMRC">{{Cite web | url=https://www.nhmrc.gov.au/health-advice/all-topics/myalgic-encephalomyelitis-and-chronic-fatigue-syndrome | title = Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome | last = National Health and Medical Research Council Act | first = | authorlink = | date = | website = nhmrc.gov.au|language=en|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=2019-07-23}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal | last = Maxmen | first = Amy | authorlink = | date = 2018-01-03 | title = A reboot for chronic fatigue syndrome research | url = http://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-017-08965-0|journal=Nature|language=en|volume=553|issue=|pages=14|doi=10.1038/d41586-017-08965-0|quote=|via=}}</ref><ref name="Dutch2018">{{Cite journal | last = Twisk | first = Frank | authorlink = Frank Twisk | date = Jun 2018 | title = Dutch Health Council Advisory Report on Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Taking the Wrong Turn | url = https://www.mdpi.com/2075-4418/8/2/34|journal=Diagnostics|language=en|volume=8|issue=2 | pages = 34|doi=10.3390/diagnostics8020034|quote=|via=}}</ref> The proposed name proved to be highly unpopular and was not been widely adopted by government agencies or researchers. The CDC adopted the term [[ME/CFS]] in place of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and adopted the IOM's proposed criteria, with [[post-exertional malaise]] as a required symptom.<ref name="CDC-symptoms">{{Cite web | url = https://www.cdc.gov/me-cfs/symptoms-diagnosis/symptoms.html | title = Symptoms {{!}} Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome|website=[[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]] | date = Jan 27, 2021|access-date = 2021-02-25}}</ref> Criticisms of the IOM report include that the diagnostic criteria captured an overlapping but different subset of patients than stricter criteria like the [[International Consensus Criteria]] or the [[Canadian Consensus Criteria]]. Despite some positive impacts, the IOM report recommendations have remained controversial among many patients and advocacy groups.{{citation needed | date = 2022}}
