    Factors associated with work status in chronic fatigue syndrome (2019) S A M Stevelink, N T Fear, M Hotopf, T Chalder

    Cognitive and behavioural responses to symptoms in adolescents with CFS: A case-control study nested within a cohort, 2019, Loades et al

    Sadly this is potentially evidence base for NICE. Similarly the n=1 account of intensive therapy for a teenage boy with severe ME which reads like torture. There is very little biomedical research for paediatric/ adolescents. A muscle study which Tymes Trust were involved with ( Dundee uni) ...
