"Reversible widespread brain 18F-FDG PET hypometabolism in chronic fatigue syndrome treated by hyperbaric oxygen therapy" by Guedj et al.
Independent re-analysis of the the largest trial that claims benefits of GET and CBT.
"The modest treatment effects obtained on self-report measures in the PACE trial do not exceed what could be reasonably accounted for by participant reporting biases."
A 2017 analysis of patient surveys by @keithgeraghty shows GET is rated negatively by the majority of patients (54%–74%), while pacing "is the most favoured treatment with the lowest negative response rate and the highest reported benefit (44%–82%)."
