Anomalies in the review process and interpretation of the evidence in the NICE guideline for chronic fatigue syndrome and myalgic encephalomyelitis

Peter White et al.

Summary: Chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) is a disabling long-term condition of unknown cause. The recent guideline from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) sparked controversy by recommending against graded exercise therapy (GET) and downgrading the importance of cognitive-behavioural therapy for recovery. The anomalies in evidence processing and interpretation by the NICE committee, such as creating a new definition, omitting data, and deviating from accepted practices, contributed to this controversy.

Adverse outcomes in trials of graded exercise therapy for adult patients with chronic fatigue syndrome

P. D. White et al.

Summary: The study reviewed 10 trials of GET for CFS and found that there was no evidence of excessive harm compared to control interventions. However, more GET participants dropped out of trial follow up compared to control interventions. Future research should focus on determining the most effective and safest form of graded exercise therapy.

Medical School Education on Myalgic Encephalomyelitis

Nina Muirhead et al.

Summary: This study reveals inadequacies in medical school teaching on ME/CFS in the UK, highlighting the need for updated educational materials to help future doctors recognize, diagnose, and treat the disease. The General Medical Council (GMC) and Medical Schools Council (MSC) are urged to bring about appropriate changes to medical school curricula, with a call for the creation of a registered specialty encompassing ME/CFS, post-viral fatigue, and long Covid.

Perceptions of European ME/CFS Experts Concerning Knowledge and Understanding of ME/CFS among Primary Care Physicians in Europe: A Report from the European ME/CFS Research Network (EUROMENE)

John Cullinan et al.

Summary: The survey results reflect experts' concerns about the lack of knowledge and confidence among general practitioners in diagnosing and managing ME/CFS, leading to missed and delayed diagnoses. The need for more training on ME/CFS is emphasized to address these issues and improve patient care. The findings are consistent with existing scientific literature, highlighting the importance of increased awareness and education in the medical community.
