'''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.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal | last = Wostyn | first = Peter | authorlink = Peter Wostyn | last2 = De Deyn | first2 = Peter Paul | authorlink2 = | date = Sep 2018 | title = The putative glymphatic signature of chronic fatigue syndrome: A new view on the disease pathogenesis and therapy| url = https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0306987718305486|journal=Medical Hypotheses|language=en|volume=118|issue= | pages = 142β145|doi=10.1016/j.mehy.2018.07.007|pmc=|pmid=|access-date=|quote=|via=}}</ref> ==Theory== ==Evidence== ==Treatment== 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.<ref name=":0" /> ==See also== * [[Brain]] * [[Neurology of ME/CFS]] ==Learn more== ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Medical hypotheses]]
