    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.

    Brain Retraining treatment for ME/CFS and Long COVID - discussion thread

    Yeah, where are the scatter plots? Which are kind of important info. If the plots supported the claims made by the PACE authors then they would have been published in the main paper, or shortly thereafter. The fact that they are still not published 14 years later, and have not been made...

    I always took plausible to mean merely within the bounds of possible, not likely. But apparently the dictionary disagrees with me.

    How does cognitive behaviour therapy reduce fatigue in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome? The role of physical activity, 2010, Wiborg, Knoop +

    Yes, can't have something as petty as falsification getting in the way of the grand plan. The show must go on!

    Brain Retraining treatment for ME/CFS and Long COVID - discussion thread

    Evidence and the models built on it have to reach a minimum standard before it is of any validity, let alone can be safely applied in the clinic and medico-legal advice. The vast majority of psych research into ME/CFS does not reach that standard. At best – and I am being very generous here – it...
