There's a few Long-Covid studies that have been led by Dr. Douglas Fraser that have been discussed on S4ME: Elevated vascular transformation blood...
I think by the time you have a medication that works (even if not for everybody) I would consider that as there already having been a clue towards...
I don't know enough much about the language, someone knowledgable about clinical trials would know and the notion of a randomised withdrawal trial...
Perhaps a question for the historians: Is there a comparable situation (e.g. a condition where by all accounts there are no specific signs...
I think you may be able to call it a placebo-controlled trial because they had a group where a placebo offered control even though it's not the...
I don't think there's necessarily a contradiction. They can't say whether improvement from baseline to end was due to disulfiram or not because...
I have a somewhat vague question and only have had a quick glimpse over the paper: The analysis accounted for physical activity using some metrics...
It is not so much that the studies in the meta-analysis are duds but rather that a meta-analysis on this topic a priori is a dud (the...
I'm not sure if this has been discussed (I think it has) and this is not the place to do so (feel free to move this elsewhere), but I'd be...
Antibiotics are routinely handed out to people who have a viral infection presumably due a whole range of different reasons (a viral infection...
I'm not so sure, I think something can be assumed to hold if it gives both results that do confirm our human experience and don't in other...
The Ascherio study also looked at CMV. I think they found no association. Can that data not be used to analyse some of the ideas present here?
Since the factsheets are supposed to be factsheets and free from beliefs and feelings I think it could be very valuable if you could point out...
It seems you have ignored the post and instead focused entirely on a strawman that you brought up yourself. I used the word "proof" because these...
We've had plenty of trials of CBT. Patient organisations are not responsible for organising trials of low quality. If you've had numerous trials...
No. You have to prove something works. What you don't have to know is why something works even though that is of course the goal. If there would...
Apart from the other obvious aspects that could make this a great project, this could make it very feasible to include a group of severe ME/CFS...
Yes, there was even a discord channel where a substantial part of the total trial participants were sharing their experiences (I think that is...
Doesn't sound like anything much to do with IgG reduction to my ears (more like something along the lines of very specific interactions of immune...
Without any evidence of the opposite, all that tells us currently is that presumably as many people in the placebo group also got better!
