==ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia== In 2008, a pilot study of 41 patients with ME/CFS or fibromyalgia by [[Jacob Teitelbaum]] stated that in: "Approximately 66% of patients experienced significant improvement while on D-ribose [at a dose of 5g, three times a day], with an average increase in energy on the VAS [visual analog scale categories: energy; sleep; mental clarity; and pain intensity] of 45% and an average improvement in overall well-being of 30% (p < 0.0001)." The study authors concluded that "D-ribose significantly reduced clinical symptoms in patients suffering from fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome".<ref name="dr2006" /> A follow-up study by Teitelbaum and colleagues (2012) lead to similar results.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal | last = Teitelbaum | first = Jacob| date = 2012-06-27 | title = Treatment of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia with D-Riboseβ An Open-label, Multicenter Study|url=http://benthamopen.com/ABSTRACT/TOPAINJ-5-32|journal=The Open Pain Journal|language=en|volume=5|issue=1|pages=32β37|doi=10.2174/1876386301205010032 | last2= | first2 = |pmc=|pmid=|quote= | last3= | first3 = | last4 = | first4 = | last5 = | first5 = | last6 = | first6 = | last9 = | first9 = | authorlink = Jacob Teitelbaum | author-link2 = |access-date=|via=}}</ref> Neither study was placebo controlled.
