    A Swedish psychosocial study about CBT and gradual increase in activity (physical activity as in walking or cycling, as well as mental and social activity), is currently recruiting. It is led by Elin Lindsäter, BPS proponent and member of the Oslo Consortium.

    This is not a recommendation! I find this study hugely problematic.

    "International research shows that psychological treatment can have beneficial effects on fatigue and functioning in different types of fatigue conditions. Such treatment involves providing support to change lifestyle habits as well as thoughts, feelings and behaviours that may contribute to fatigue not going away on its own. In this study, we want to investigate whether such a psychological treatment can be implemented with good effects for people seeking care for long-term and severe fatigue, regardless of the triggering cause."

    The study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov here: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06341751

    The following information is copied from the ethical approval application, available to download from @MittEremltage's blog post.

    This study is potentially very significant in relation to the political decision that led to major changes in the healthcare for pwME in Stockholm, Sweden, including updated guidelines in viss.nu for ME in primary care.

    Read more about this here and here in the News from Scandinavia thread.
