Bateman Horne Centers new clinical guide ”CLINICAL CARE Managing ME/CFS, Long COVID, & IACCs” contains a problematic recommendation for brain retraining (chapter 7 p 23).
BHC do not provide any sources to support their recommendation.
Today, I have published part one of a series of posts on my blog related to this recommendation. I have had help translating the posts into English.

”Neuroplasticity programs designed for autonomic nervous system dysregulation
*While these techniques may help modulate sympathetic "fight-or-flight" responses, they should be viewed as supportive adjuncts rather than curative treatments and should not replace comprehensive clinical management. Initiation of neuroplasticity programs must be implemented on an individual basis and at a time in the recovery process when the patient has reached improved PEM stability.”

”In recent years, I have written about brain training, or neuroplasticity training as it is also known, on several occasions and concluded that these methods lack scientific support for ME and post-COVID.”
”As I had previously read about different types of brain training and concluded that these are methods whose hypothesis and treatment lack scientific support for ME and post-COVID, I was surprised to see the recommendation in BHC’s new clinical guide. The recommendation is also vague and lacks sources, which prompted me to write an email to the clinic asking what type of programme they mean.”
