Glymphatic dysfunction hypothesis was developed by Dr. Peter Wostyn in 2018. It postulates that dysfunction of the waste clearance system, called the glymphatic system, causes a build-up of toxins within the central nervous system, which precipitates at least some cases of chronic fatigue syndrome.[1]
Theory[edit | edit source]
Evidence[edit | edit source]
Treatment[edit | edit source]
Dr. Peter Wostyn suggests that at least some chronic fatigue syndrome patients may benefit from cerebrospinal fluid drainage thus restoring glymphatic transport and waste removal from the brain.[1]
