‘Pacing’ for management of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS): a systematic review and meta-analysis (2024)
Journal Article

Background

Pacing typically comprises regulating activity to avoid post-exertional neuroimmune exhaustion, the worsening of symptoms after an activity. Yet, the efficacy of pacing to improve symptomology is unclear.
Objective

We aimed to under... Read More about ‘Pacing’ for management of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS): a systematic review and meta-analysis.

An Adaptive Pacing Intervention for Adults Living With Long COVID: A Narrative Study of Patient Experiences of Using the PaceMe app (2024)
Journal Article

Adaptive pacing (AP) is a self-management technique which seeks to balance energy and rest in individuals with chronic health conditions. Adaptive pacing can help people with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome learn how to manage thei...

Body Composition, Vascular Health, Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Lung Function, Muscle Architecture, and Physical Activity in People with Young Onset Dementia: A Case-Control Study. (2024)
Journal Article

Body composition, blood pressure, estimated maximal oxygen uptake (VO ), lung function, physical activity, muscle architecture, and endothelial function had not previously been examined in people with young onset dementia. Therefore, the study measur...

American Journal of Medicine, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.amjmed.2024.04.041

Purpose
Well-being and cognitive function had not previously been compared between people with long COVID and people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). Therefore, this study examined well-being and cognitive function i...

Tracking Persistent Symptoms in Scotland (TraPSS): a longitudinal prospective cohort study of COVID-19 recovery after mild acute infection (2024)
Preprint / Working Paper

Background: COVID-19 disease results in disparate responses between individuals and has led to the emergence of long coronavirus disease (Long-COVID), characterised by persistent and cyclical symptomology. To understand the complexity of Long-COVID,...

“You Think You’re Going to Get Better”: A Creative-Relational Inquiry Into Long Covid and Physical Activity (2024)
Journal Article

This creative-relational inquiry explores the lived experience of people suffering from Long Covid. Responding to calls for a publicly oriented qualitative inquiry, we collaborate across an extended project team to develop and share an accessible and...

People with Long Covid and ME/CFS Exhibit Similarly Impaired Dexterity and Bimanual Coordination: A Case-Case-Control Study. (2024)
Journal Article

Dexterity and bimanual coordination had not previously been compared between people with long COVID and people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). Therefore, this study determined dexterity and bimanual coordination in p...
