Study criticises research method behind new Nice guidelines, which also no longer recommend cognitive behavioural therapy
New guidance for doctors discouraging them from recommending exercise and cognitive behavioural therapy for chronic fatigue patients is not evidence based, according to researchers.
A study questions the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) review process for this guideline for clinicians dealing with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) patients and its use of scientific standards in considering the evidence.
