COMPARISON OF TREATMENTS FOR CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME - THE PACE TRIAL

Broadcast:Monday 18 April 2011 8:30AM (view full episode)

Researchers in the UK assessed the effectiveness and safety of four

treatments for people suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome in

what's called the PACE trial. PACE stands for 'Pacing, Activity, and

Cognitive behaviour therapy: a randomised Evaluation'.

While this trial actually has some good news, the reactions from some

people who claim to represent patients has been extraordinary.
