    Brief Outpatient Rehabilitation Program for Post-COVID-19 Condition, Nerli et al, 2024 - with comment from T. Chalder

    What else does it imply? Clinically significant is a minimum threshold value. Why bother even defining such a value if you are going to then ignore it? Sorry, I forgot. Psycho-behavioural studies don't have to follow standards, not even their own.

    Protocol Mind-Body in Long COVID and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Study (MILES): A Patient-Centred RCT (MILES RCT)

    As Guenter himself noted, these diagnoses were not confirmed. How does pseudo-scientific shit like this keep getting approval and funding?

    Protocol Mind-Body in Long COVID and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Study (MILES): A Patient-Centred RCT (MILES RCT)

    In real estate it is location, location, location. In psychosomatics it is rebrand, rebrand, rebrand.

    Neuroplastic changes in patients with functional seizures following neurobehavioral therapy, 2025, Sharma et al.

    As a result, behavioral and neuroimaging studies of FS have revealed a spectrum of structural, functional, genetic, and neuroinflammatory abnormalities in brain regions crucial for inhibition, executive control, emotion regulation, and sensorimotor processing. Doesn't sound functional to me.

    [...] Understanding the Role of Peer Support Groups in Countering Epistemic Injustices in Long COVID at a US Centre, 2025, Sarma et al

    Which is a nasty double-bind par excellence. It is exactly the sort of fundamental methodological error that psychs in particular should understand and do everything they can to avoid placing the patient in it. Yet they instead ruthlessly exploit it to cover up their ignorance, incompetence...

    Mixed methods study of views and experience of non-hospitalised individuals with long COVID of using pacing interventions, 2024, McMullan et al

    The concept of pacing is not complicated: Keep activity of all kinds below the level that exacerbates symptoms, especially PEM. The problem is putting it into practice, for a bunch of reasons, both external and internal, primary and secondary. Plus it is just a hard learning curve even in the...

    China to access NHS medical records of 500,000 patients

    The most powerful force in the universe is not gravity, or dark energy, or entropy. It is the ancient and lethal bureaucratic art of collation and cross-referencing. Something that computers, and now AI, have made many orders of magnitude more effective and efficient.

    Symptom perceptions, illness beliefs and coping in chronic fatigue syndrome, 2009, Moss-Morris

    Brain retraining therapies: 1. Fail to use robust methodology to adequately control the variables. Primarily by relying on subject self-report outcome measures alone, to the point of dismissing objective measures as being irrelevant, misleading even. Along with selective use of evidence, and...
