The guidelines are based on the Canadian Consensus Criteria and also includes IOM guidelines and litterature reviews.
While the treatment recommendations for CBT and GET gets mentioned, pages 11-13 include the rationale for these treatment modalities.
It is very disappointing that there is no recommendations for viral and immunological blood work for our patient population. We are still in dinosaur ages of coping and supportive care, whatever that means. However, the Alberta guidelines seem to steer away from the Central Sensitization theory at first glance (I haven't read everything) which is good to see.
I dwelled all day on the fact that the CCC was published in 2003. What will it take for patients to access competent medical care in this country? How many more decades until clinical trials and access to drugs?
