I'm happy to see more academics take an interest in this whole mess of ME/CFS/PACE/CBT/GET/SMC/LP etc.
It's a review of CBT for CFS. The effect on nonblinding is that of introducing bias into self reported measures. So by saying they used subjective...
[ATTACH] The Ridsdale 2001 article is claimed to be blinded according to this table, but outcomes are fatigue scores. They must mean some other...
The findings seem rather predictable, but I fear that they might lauch an investigation to see if the emotional experience of need frustration...
Full article is locked - I wanted to check if they discussed the problem of biased self reporting and lack of blinding.

They might have won this PR battle, but I suspect they have lost the war over the Cochrane review. Is it usual for a review to be temporarily...
The idea that the illness is perpetuated by thoughts and behaviour is ridiculous and without scientific basis and there is nothing wrong with...
I think the unexpressed statement behind patients having a COI is that patients are receiving disability benefits and do not want to be cured.
Sorry but I think you're being naive. They people that were interviewed want to save face and avoid publicly acknowledging the more serious...
Good news, but awfully biased article. The activist side is not represented at all.
Anyway, I am very curious about the results, considering case reports like this: http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?paperID=75761
