PACE Trial analysis - video

Graham and I have worked together to create a blog and video with a simple analysis of a certain aspect of the PACE Trial.

The UK's 5m government-funded PACE Trial tested CBT and GET on ME patients, and the authors concluded that CBT and GET are 'moderately effective' treatments for ME patients.

We believe that there were many inadequacies in PACE Trial that made the results meaningless for the ME population. In the blog and video we have concentrated on one or two specific aspects of the results to attempt to demonstrate just a couple of the reasons why the PACE Trial was unhelpful for ME patients.

The short video is easy to watch and understand, and it is aimed at ME patients or professionals who don't have much time to do their own analysis.

We especially recommend initially watching the first video as an initial introduction:

Best wishes,

Bob and Graham
