    Cochrane Review: 'Exercise therapy for chronic fatigue syndrome', Larun et al. - New version October 2019 and new date December 2024

    Sorry if this is a bit off topic, I can't remember and can't find the answer. Is the PACE trial included in the Cochrane review?

    Dr Ron Davis - Updates on ME/CFS research - September 2019 onwards

    How big was the cohort? The small difference between the control group and the patient could be due to the small sample size. And even if the cohorts are big enough, is the difference (98% patients, 90% control) big enough to tell us anything?

    Dr Ron Davis - Updates on ME/CFS research - September 2019 onwards

    Copying @Simon M 's tweet here, as it seems the results are similar in the control group. If correct, I'm really wondering if anything significant can be drawn.

    Graded activity is an important component in CBT to reduce severe fatigue: cancer survivors (Knoop et al., 2019)

    Yes, some people have difficulty coping with the dreadful hardship that cancer is. But how insensitive do you have to be to say "insufficient coping"?

    Effectiveness of distant healing for patients with chronic fatigue syndrome, 2008, Walach et al

    What matters is wether people involved in the trial think that the treatment is ridiculous or not. I very much doubt that anyone thinking this is complete BS would participate. How small compared to CBT/GET results?

    SMILE patient cohorts

    Even if that is not the reason to switch participants to a different group, the simple fact of having this initial interview to assess suitability is in itself a big problem that compromises the whole trial. The conditions for eligibility should have been made public and should have been justified.

    More PACE trial data released

    Very interesting. If physical function as described by patients correlates with real capacities, it confirms the suspicion that those who didn't do the test where not doing well ; and the results of the 6mWT would probably be worse if the whole cohort had done it (specially in the GET arm).
