This looks like a decent study - two treatments (vagus nerve stimulation and meditative breathing) each with a fairly reasonable sham version....
I'm not sure why Ron is making it sound as though a microfluidic device to assess neutrophil movement is a new thing, or why it needs to be...
From what I can see, they are totally separate studies. Unfortunately Michael doesn't seem to be sharing exactly what they will be looking for,...
We need an ME/CFS brain bank.
In the absence of any information at all, it's hard to be sure, but perhaps it is time for all of the people in the review writing group and on...
