Action for M.E.
4 hrs ·
The Journal of Health Psychology yesterday released a special issue dedicated to the PACE trial as part of a continuing scientific debate into the trial’s validity.

The PACE trial, the only large-scale research trial undertaken to test the effectiveness of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), graded exercise therapy (GET) and pacing, as reliable treatments for people with M.E., has been subject to considerable scrutiny and criticism since publication of its initial results in 2011.
Action for M.E. takes the position that it is vital that valid questions, raised about the science conducted as part of the PACE trial, be addressed as a matter of urgency, and that the experiences of patients who have experienced harm as a result of undertaking GET and/or CBT must not be ignored. (Please note Action for M.E. does not recommend any single form of intervention or treatment for M.E.)
