The methodological problems go deeper than mere recruitment, it’s not clear at all what the authors are seeking to do. There is no stated study hypothesis, rather there is a sort of statement of intent: “To investigate the overlap …[of] … clinical phenotypes." Phenotypes being defined by...

Or indeed wholly accurate if an "R" is added to NIH to indicate the UK National Institute of Health Research which is institutionally wedded to psych approaches across the board and despite the NIHR part funding to the Decode ME study, it remains a bastion of support for rubbish psych.

I might be mistaking your direction of argument but if you mean the current study - then there's no indication it is funded by the NIH. The clinicaltrials.gov website lists trials internationally https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/search/map and only a fraction are US funded. There is a requirement...

V.long reply posted here https://www.s4me.info/threads/deconditioning-%E2%80%93-relevance-and-irrelevance.24028/ as too off topic for this thread. One point of note is that in “Deconditioning does not explain orthostatic intolerance in ME/CFS"...

Not a coincidence . And shame on Miranda Hart for lending her name to this trash. Author details on the book page: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Alex-Howard/e/B0034P9S60?ref_=dbs_p_pbk_r00_abau_000000

Merged thread Long covid: research must guide future management Anthony S David. Professor of Mental Health Back in February 2021, the UK government announced that £18.5m is being invested into clinical research into long covid by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).1 In light of public and...

I think it shows the difficulty of removing the grip of the existing psych based services - as far as I can see there's nothing in that job spec that contradicts the letter of the 2021 Guideline, even if the psych focus is against the spirit of the GL. It maybe also indicate just how much of a...

There's certainly a profound mismatch between executive pay and average income, though in the case of the CC it does need to recruit a highly capable person. The Charity Commission provides regulation (not enough IMO !) for a sector valued at £15bn annually, accounting for 900,000 jobs...

Mods please move or remove if not appropriate. It's not ME specific but the Charity Commission has influence on health research and health advocacy and who is in the top role has affected the direction of the CC in the past. New charity watchdog head quits before he starts over ‘inappropriate...

It is the kind of thing you have to say in a report; mathematically the numbers show correlation so the authors need to comment on that, and then explain what the statistical measures they are using show about that correlation. In this case the correlation does not stand up to the statistical...
