    I hope this is an artifact of translation, or it is a very puzzling assertion to make, given it appears totally meaningless, which given it appears to be the central 'result' could indicate a 'problem' with these esteemed gentlemens hypothesis.

    Bit weird: to test the validity of their new questionnaire (RIFD), they compare it to another one (SCAN).

    But as far as I can tell SCAN is used to detect psychopathology, not functional somatic disorders such as FM, IBS or CFS. Does anyone know of a study that tested the validity of SCAN to diagnose functional disorders, or are there research teams, other than the one by Per Fink, that are using SCAN to diagnose functional somatic disorders?
