I don't think they would have a problem claiming that the stress of the pandemic explains development of ME/CFS. It would be very biopsychosocial.
They improvements could disappear in a phase 3 trial, but how does one explain the association between greater improvement and HLA alleles? Is it...
A newspaper is reporting that 61% of the people with suspicious symptoms and/or contact with confirmed cases in two of the hardest hit towns in...

It barely mentions ME/CFS. It would have been an opportunity help doctors understand how to recognize PEM and OI. These are part of more definite...
How it describes the illness I like what I'm seeing in this document. There seems to be a minor error however.
Ignoring the usual issues with lack of blinding and subjective outcomes, the absence of a no-treatment group at an eventual long term follow up...
Presumbly they will compare the first group to second group, after the first has received LP and while the second is still untreated. In this...
Is anything known about the study design? If the study is competently designed it could indeed settle the controversy. Unfortunately I suspect...
