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 →

Altered neural networks in adolescent CFS

Posted on 07/25/2016 by wames

Research abstract: Neural network investigations are currently absent in adolescent chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). In this study, we examine whether the core intrinsic connectivity networks (ICNs) are altered in adolescent CFS patients. Eighteen adolescent patients with CFS and 18 aged … Continue reading →
