Getting It Wrong on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Sunday Review, Opinion
Julie Rehmeyer And David Tuller
March 18, 2017
What are some of the treatment regimens
that sufferers of chronic fatigue syndrome should follow?
Many major medical organizations cite two:
psychotherapy and a steady increase in exercise.
There's just one problem.
The main study that has been cited as proof that patients can recover with those treatments
overstated some of its results.
In reality, the claim that patients can recover from these treatments
is not justified by the data.
...
Doctors and medical organizations must stop
recommending these two therapies for ME/CFS as treatment options.
Next, the disputed findings must be retracted.
Finally, health agencies must ramp up funding for medical research
to develop accurate diagnostic tests and pharmacological treatments.
