David Tuller: Trial By Error: FITNET-NHS Recruitment Ad Promotes ''Recovery''

Weird, I keep hearing about those silent, oppressed people who "recovered". Surely they will flock to praise their experience.

 

Well I suppose any favourable comments might be deemed as promoting the treatment and introducing bias..... and of course they wouldn't dream of doing that

Crawley is using the 6 month FITNET results to justify those figures, though that trial's result were unusual, and showed no significant difference between groups at long-term follow up.

 

I have concerns re recruitment.

Gps presenting info like this to families for direct recruitment to trial ( how many gps can diagnose accurately?)

Families not knowing that they did not have to participate.

@Tilly may have more knowledge.

 

There are a lot of concerns about this. Portraying it as a treatment before it has gone through a trial should have been picked up well before now; goodness knows I have tried. I wrote a blog here about the impact of such a trial

But I took a snippet of the protocol which is on PDF I think online which is the main problem of the whole thing


children are being asked to go on the research trial, even the GPs are asking them to go on the trial. Mary Jane Willows helped to get it through the Ethics committee.
