Background
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ME (CFS/ME) is characterised by debilitating fatigue, pain and other symptoms. Severe CFS/ME can lead to patients becoming housebound or bedbound.1 There is little published research on this patient group.
Method
Design Feasibility and acceptability study of a community based intervention for adults with severe CFS/ME, with qualitative and quantitative evaluation. Design based on the Medical Research Council Guidelines for evaluating complex interventions.2 Setting: Domiciliary care delivered by multi-disciplinary teams based at specialist NHS CFS/ME services.
Participants
20 patients diagnosed with CFS/ME [Centers for Disease Control (1994) criteria]3, who are severely affected [Cox & Findley (1998) criteria].4
Intervention
Recovery strategies based on the Neuro-Linguistic Programming concept of 'modelling success', adapted for use in severe CFS/ME through in-depth Patient and Public Involvement development work conducted over two years. The intervention includes a range of NLP techniques, delivered through audio recordings, direct therapist contact and social contact via peer recovery support group. One year active intervention + one year support and follow-up.
Primary measure
Clinical Global Impression of Change
Secondary outcome measures include
- Electronic activity and sleep measurement - Patient reported outcome measures on fatigue, pain, physical function, anxiety, depression, self efficacy and quality of life. - Therapist completed outcome measures on physical function.
Results
This study is currently recruiting patients in Dorset and Oxford. Results will be available in 2016. The study is funded by the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) and has been peer reviewed by the National School of Primary Care Research.
