Thread about paper for recovery rate in children and a bit of speculating similar to this thread: Long Term Follow up of Young People With Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Attending a Pediatric Outpatient Service, 2019, Rowe

Oh ok, thank you. I think I would personally be much more annoyed at having to take pills four or more times a day than just sipping from a water bottle throughout the day, which I do anyway.

It looks like they used data for controls from a previous study: S4ME From that paper:

I'm not arguing for adopting CPET as an endpoint, but I'm not sure I understand your specific point here. Presumably, a decrease in metrics on day 2 is not analogous to weak grip strength, since the idea is that this is not something seen in deconditioning, so exercise alone should not improve...

Could you say this in a different way? I'm having trouble following.

Could you elaborate on why not? It seems important to know if a drug might have side effects that could break blinding. For example, might nausea clue people in to whether they received the drug?

The most recent change (today) was removing major depression and bipolar disorder from the long list of conditions they're studying.

I didn't see any discussion about this study on the forum, though there are a few mentions of it, for example: It's studying a lot of conditions that they are referring to as "brain inflammation and related neuroinflammatory conditions", and participants can be self-diagnosed. Here's the...
