- Systematic Review:
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a systematic review report on the diagnosis and treatment of ME/CFS. The report emphasized the limited evidence for effective treatments and called for further research
- Evidence Mapping:
- An evidence map of ME/CFS research from 2018 to 2023 was created, summarizing findings from over 600,000 participants. This map aimed to align research priorities with patient needs
These studies underscore the importance of advancing research to improve understanding and care for individuals with ME/CFS.
