This is from Aug. 15th 2018 and as far as I know not shared here already. Not sure if studies on ME patients are included in the review, but thought it was of interest nevertheless.

E-Health interventions for anxiety and depression in children and adolescents with long-term physical conditions

The review is based on five trials of three interventions (Breathe Easier Online, Web-MAP, and CBT), which included 463 participants aged 10 to 18 years. Trial involved children and adolescents with long-term physical conditions, such as chronic headache, chronic pain conditions, chronic respiratory illness and symptoms of anxiety or depression.

Author's conclusions
At present, the field of e‐health interventions for the treatment of anxiety or depression in children and adolescents with long‐term physical conditions is limited to five low quality trials. The very low‐quality of the evidence means the effects of e‐health interventions are uncertain at this time, especially in children aged under 10 years.

Good. I wonder what Crawley thinks of this? :P
 
The FITNET-trial, Nijhof, Bleijenberg et al. is on the list of trials excluded from the review. :thumbup:

Types of studies
We included all randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and cluster‐randomised trials. We also included cross‐over trials, only using the data from the first phase, in order to avoid carry‐over effects. We excluded observational trials, quasi‐randomised trials, and non‐randomised trials. We did not exclude any trial on the basis of language of publication or publication status.

If this is a study of trials for anxiety and depression in kids with long term health conditions, then FITNET would not be relevant because it claims to threat the condition itself, not any associated anxiety or depression, I think.
