Excellent response by Michiel Tack, a masterpiece of clarity and brevity yet covering all the key points. The response by Chalder et all goes...
This thread is a reminder of the value of this forum. Over on twitter someone posted the paper and all the responses were unquestioning...
I've only read the abstract. Surely the primary outcome measure chosen has to directly reflect the effect aimed for in the particular treatment....
I tried being hynotised once by a professional hypnotist who used it for things like smoking cessation. I can't remember what it was intended for...
This idea of pwCFS being prone to hypnotic suggestibility reminds me of the patients' accounts of LP, where at least one described something that...
