(3) Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM);


(4) Sleep;


(5) Pain;


(6) Neurologic/Cognitive/CNS Imaging;

(9) Immune;


(10) Quality of Life(QoL)/Functional Status/CPET/Activity;


and (11) Biomarkers.


Reviewers may comment on any portion of the recommendations based on their expertise. Comments can be sent in the text of an email to NINDSCDE@emmes.com, in the provided template response spreadsheet or via annotations within the documents.


After the public review period, the ME/CFS CDE Working Group will review and revise the recommendations as needed. Version 1.0 of the ME/CFS recommendations will be posted at the end of February 2018.

Please note that changes are still being incorporated and final documents will not be available until February 2018.
