Our routine treatment is cognitive behaviour therapy, which has been shown in several randomised controlled trials to be an effective intervention for CFS/ME. Some individuals receive CBT over the telephone if they live a long way from the unit or find travelling difficult.
We also provide GET (Graded Exercise Therapy) and APT (Adaptive Pacing Therapy).
Adults with CFS/ME who fulfil specific research criteria may be offered the opportunity to participate in research at this unit.
Adolescents with CFS/ME may be eligible to take part in our research treatment study.
