    CBT repackaged or a novel treatment? The Lightning Process compared with UK specialist medical care for paediatric [CFS], 2021, Anderson, Parker et al

    There are many extremely weird things about this paper, but these two aspects, put together, to me are the most astonishing -- and a bit difficult to digest. I think it's a big success that the paper apparently was not accepted by any of the journals where Crawley usually gets her papers...

    International: IACFS/ME - International Association for CFS/ME, IACFSME

    No doubt that Fatigue is an important journal for ME research that publishes many highly valuable papers. Also, I appreciate that the journal is a means of exchange and discussion for all kind of topics and people involved with research on ME in general as well as on fatigue in ME and other...

    International: IACFS/ME - International Association for CFS/ME, IACFSME

    To be fair, pacing I think is behavior and it would be good to see it [edit] more rigorously studied as a means of coping. However, Fred Friedberg gives a workshop together with Leonard Jason on: "Behavioral Assessment and Treatment of ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia"...

    Editorial: Autonomic markers, chronic fatigue syndrome, and post-exertion states, 2019, Friedberg

    Not sure how the editorial is related to the two studies announced here: https://reporter.nih.gov/search/MFkYFqJYG0-YuVKog5mE5Q/projects Some details could be relevant for discussions on research methodology and hint to caveats that apply for ME research in particular. Not able to explain now...

    Discussion of suggestions for the ME/CFS Priority Setting Partnership, deadline 5th July - extended to 7th July.

    Just have submitted a suggestion. Was too brain fogged to asses if it made sense. A suggestion to differentiate and precisely specify diverse forms of fatigue, based on detailed symptoms monitoring (*) Fatigue is seen as one of the most characteristic symptoms of ME/CFS. While the focus on...

    Article series in Guardian, June 2021: The pain that can't be seen. (chronic pain, Long Covid, ME/CFS)

    Edit: That seems somehow related to a "series looking at chronic pain and long Covid" by Linda Geddes "Sufferers of chronic pain have long been told it’s all in their head. We now know that’s wrong"...

    Bias due to a lack of blinding: a discussion

    There's another [edit] albeit rather halfhearted one: Bull, L. (2007). Sunflower therapy for children with specific learning difficulties (dyslexia): A randomised, controlled trial. Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice, 13(1), 15–24. doi:10.1016/j.ctcp.2006.07.003...

    Sunflower therapy for children with specific learning difficulties (dyslexia), 2007, Bull

    Came across when I searched something else in another thread. Dorothy Bishop referred to the study in a reply to @dave30th on Virology Blog: "I agree that it is important to be cautious where outcome measures are based on subjective report, as apparent improvement may not be mirrored by...

    Systematic Review of Mind-Body Interventions to Treat Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, 2021, Ardestani et al

    Three 'patient research partners' are co-authors. Another co-author is Eleanor Stein. Hm. (I don't understand how something "was shown to be improved" when it's acknowledged that the studies had "small sample sizes, heterogeneous diagnostic criteria, and a high risk of bias". Isn't there a...
