    One for @Snow Leopard - from memory you are interested in the NO pathway, vasodilation.

    It's very fortunate that they've got funding to try some things. I think the idea of trialing medications that dilate blood vessels is rather odd, but I'm not up on the latest research on the cardiovascular system. If it's rigorous the data will speak for themselves.

    In that vein (hehe), is anything known about the design of these studies? These are the first trials in the program, so I'm guessing they'll be small, but will they at least be blinded?

    I really want to see research that creates answers, not more questions.

    Yea trialling medicines is one way of understanding ME/CFS and potentially treating it. Sometimes there's an accidental finding (e.g. treating someone with ME/CFS with drugs for another disease) which suggests the drug might work --- not sure that applies in this case.

    Fluge and Mella (of rituximab trial) patented something relating to NO in ME/CFS - can't remember the details. So focus on NO isn't entirely new.
