Chalder: 19% recovery from chronic fatigue with CBT, and 15% in CDC defined CFS, a placebo is MORE effective !!
"While 72.2% met the Oxford criteria for CFS at pre-treatment assessment, 53.1% did so at the 6-month follow-up (Pearson chi square = 19.5, df = 1, p < 0.001).
Likewise, chi-square revealed a significant reduction in prevalence from 52.6% of the participants meeting the CDC criteria at the pre-treatment assessment to 37.5% at the 6-month follow-up (Pearson chi square = 16.8, df = 1, p < 0.001).
my PS: Oxford criteria = chronic fatigue, not CFS or ME !!
CDC criteria = CFS, not ME !! *
So Chalder admits, CBT is useless !!
