There have been many such studies already. And the problem is precisely as @jnmaciuch said: they just move the goalposts, including simply...
This statement is a bit worrying..
Wow i'd be really thrilled if a study like this could be done. Then we'd know once and for all! For those it helped we might be able to elucidate...

The PACE trial has been referenced here a number of times, so I thought it might be worth pointing out that we have a PACE briefing document...
I think you are wrong. Objections to PACE and to a Norwegian study of LP have been objected to before starting on grounds of bad trial design,...

I appreciate you being willing to hear me out and sharing how you try not to pressure others you know into brain retraining. I also appreciate...

An experiment of this sort was designed. It was called the PACE trial. The idea was that if you persuaded people either with CBT or just doing...
I don’t think I fully realized how little that is until now. Weeks of intervention just to walk around the corner of a city block.
No worries! So they did no better than GET. That probably indicates that it isn’t effective at all.
...for the confusion. Looked for another reference figure: in the PACE trial the GET group also increased with around 35 meters compared to the...
It would be very worrying to suggest trials of bedbound patients without mentioning the ethics given a big problem with bps is many of those...
