Efficacy and Acceptance of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Adults with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A Meta-analysis, 2024, Maas genannt Bermpohl et al.

Hey, it makes sense if you don't think about it and want those outcomes to be true regardless of whether they are. Because of this, the high bias is a feature, not a bug. Otherwise how could they claim those false things?

 

Every good service business knows that your most satisfied clients are those who never come back. Come on this is business 101.

 

They mention that in a few cases the definition of CFS used was a cut-off on an appropriate scale--i e the chalder fatigue scale

 

So the most recent one is from 2021, that's around the last update of the Cochrane review, which is largely identical to this. Most are before 2015. So nothing new. And all the studies use the same general approach and methodology, so it's basically about 20 times the same thing. How can this review even be justified outside of simply adding yet another "because we also say so"?

It's really hard to accept that our lives are destroyed by such mediocrity.

 

Ah yes I see now. Strange decision.
