Fatigue severely affected daily activities for one-third of a German clinic sample
findingevidence: probable
Rauterberg and colleagues found that 32 of 98 adults at a German EDS clinic reported fatigue severely affecting daily activities (32.7%). The 2025 study included people with hEDS, HSD, classical EDS, and classical-like EDS. Within the hEDS/HSD group, 27 of 80 respondents reported this level of fatigue (33.8%). Fatigue is not one of the 2017 hEDS diagnostic criteria.
