"seems to work." And the evidence for that is...?

Despite the results reported in Wiborg, and those from PACE, among others, showing disagreement between self-report and objective measures, and no correlations. The excuse given by the PACE authors to the Trial Steering/Oversight Committee (?) for being allowed to drop actigraphs mid-study was...

This.

The correlations between steps per day and self-reported SF-36 Physical function, SF-36 Social function, and DSQ-SF were significant. Interesting contrast to Wiborg's finding of no correlation between self-report fatigue and actimeter/actigraph results (for CBT intervention). "Although CBT...

Context and history matters. Who knew?

Nice work, @Hutan. :thumbup:

Par excellence.

The sheer gall of people like this lecturing the world about the importance of standards for evidence and ethics. Incidentally, Garner bears more than a passing resemblance to one of my favourite comedians, Milton Jones.

Plus they used (a modified version of) the London ME Criteria to select a sub-group of the trial participants. Of course it was about ME. Me too. Struggled on in the job for about 18 months, with lots of paid then unpaid sick leave, but had to quit. Then tried more full time, then part time...

The stuff about executive function hits home.

Thank you, Prof. Bergquist Building evidence-based multidisciplinary care requires nationally coordinated professions. A certain section of the profession would benefit from finding a little more humility in the face of the unknown. And by a little, I mean a lot.

“What does not kill me, makes me stronger,” No, it just didn't kill you.

Just had a quick look. A mixed bag. Still basically operating on the rehabilitation model, far as I can tell, despite there being no real evidence of its benefits for LC yet.

rehabilitation is a core health service for anyone with an acute or chronic health condition, impairment or injury that limits functioning, That is one hell of a land grab.

The gravy train keeps rolling for the rehabilitation industry?

I think what this all shows, once again, is how unproductive it is to speculate about causation based on psycho-behavioural interpretations and concepts. To try forcing physiology and psychology together just on principle, a lá BPS, not because it actually delivers good explanatory and...

To expect 100% at this stage would be asking a lot, given the issues with diagnosis. Why 3-5? Any special significance of that number?

Excellent. :) Thank you. :hug:

"This is exactly why these meetings are not public. There is absolutely nothing unscientific about hypothesizing that people who are high achievers and work hard and over exert themselves may be at risk for something." There is if there is no evidence for it.

These combinatorial disease signatures capture both linear and non-linear effects of genetic and molecular interaction networks... This could be important.
