Research tends to neglect ME/CFS and FM – until right now. Precision medicine is the emerging scientific idea that medical treatment can and should be maximally efficient by tailoring medicine and healthcare to individual circumstances. Current research studies, however, do not have the size and diversity necessary to produce enough statistical power for individualized treatments.…

Read MoreDream Teams Assemble to Advance Research
“Advancing Research” is central to Bateman Horne Centers’ mission of empowering patients and improving clinical care for ME/CFS and FM. The trick of course is figuring out the best way to advance research. This is a decision any organization targeting research into these complex conditions must wrestle with. At the 2016 IACFSME conference it was…

New Research Brings Clear Differences to Light in ME/CFS by Suzanne D. Vernon, PhD | BHC Research Liaison There is a great song in the musical RENT titled “Seasons of Love” in which they sing about the number of minutes in a year. As I am reviewing and writing this summary of the recent paper, “Epigenetic…
Read MoreNovel Gene Variants in ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia
Presented by Alan R. Light, PhD. In February 2017, Dr. Light began a new NIH-funded research grant, Novel Gene Variants in ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia. This is a continuation of earlier work which discovered a number of novel variants in both chromosomal and mitochondrial genes that could contribute to the symptoms found in patients. This talk…
