Who can join

18 and older, any sex, with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Patients with the condition only — healthy volunteers not accepted.

Sponsor's own description

Post-exertional malaise was modeled by having Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and sedentary control subjects perform submaximal exercise on 2 consecutive days with objective changes in brain function measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during cognitive tests before and after the 2 exercise sessions.
