Why Longevity Research Has Been Stuck For Decades
In the 1960s and '70s there was a great deal of optimism about science - including tackling aging. In the following decades not much progress was made. There were studies and experiments, like low calorie efforts, but those were in mice and mice studies are only exploratory. We can't ethically wean human babies on a starvation diet, we don't make any decisions on animal models, no drug has ever been approved on those because mice are not little people.
Due to lack of progress, some argue that resilience, not longevity, should be the therapeutic endpoint. Lifespan is the wrong objective so people in the field have been targeting the wrong way.

Pilot Study: Fibromyalgia Fatigue Improved By TENS Therapy
Fibromyalgia is the term for a poorly-understood condition where people experience pain and fatigue while moving but have no testable inflammation or damage. Because fatigue is a non-specific symptom, fibromyalgia becomes a 'diagnosis of exclusion', where pain persists but testable conditions are ruled out. It is said to affect about four percent of the population.
