I believe Fluge and Mella are working on something along those lines. They asked for pwME (CCC, probably >=moderate due to in person) and healthy...
The researchers were blinded. If the researchers guess that everyone received the treatment, they would get 50 % right. So something must have...
Good point. The paper says: Box plot example from google: [IMG]
Linebreaks added: The mean total cost per participant of the HomeHealth intervention was £457 (SD 170), with a total cost of training,...
I believe the only way to get a bar like the fourth one would be if all values = 2. But that would give you an error bar = 0. The current one goes...
If something is dismissed by people on the forum it’s most likely because there isn’t enough evidence to warrant a trial. We most likely wouldn’t...
The irony is that an economist would tell you to think of the long term costs instead of the next year or election cycle.

In real life I would never tell anyone like that that they didn’t have ME/CFS during the good patches. But if ME/CFS is strictly defined as a...
It doesn’t measure PEM. It measures functional capacity. FC can be a proxy for some aspects of PEM, but PEM isn’t the purpose. I feel like you’re...
It doesn’t apply to ME/CFS as its currently defined because you can’t have ME/CFS if you don’t have the symptoms. In theory, there might be some...
I don’t think any tool can measure all aspects of something as diverse and extensive as ME/CFS. FUNCAP measures the most debilitating aspect:...
You can have cancer without it causing any noticeable symptoms. I had to look it up, and this is how ‘symptom’ is defined in a medical context...
Are there any PROMs for other conditions that have more nuance than FUNCAP for ME/CFS?
I wonder what the BPS brigade would say about that take!
The most important thing about a test might be that big pharma would be willing to get involved if they have a biomarker to measure their drugs...
A test will not change that because they believe that the mind body interaction can cause anything to happen. So the mind body interaction caused...
