Research: fMRI reveals differences between ME/CFS diagnostic criteria

Posted on 11/18/2022 by wames

fMRI distinguishes between two classes of ME/CFS   Australian researchers have discovered that patients diagnosed using 2 different criteria, International Consensus Criteria (ICC) and the Fukuda criteria, have different brain activity. The main difference between the 2 criteria is that … Continue reading →
