Prof Dr Klaus Wirth and Prof Dr Carmen Scheibenbogen

Theory[edit | edit source]

Hypothesis[edit | edit source]

Endothelial dysfunction is proposed to be key to ME/CFS, which is regarded as a neurovascular disease.[1][2][3]

Evidence[edit | edit source]

Treatment[edit | edit source]

Self-administered Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is a proposed treatment, with a proof of concept trial completed in 2021.[4]

Notable studies[edit | edit source]

  • 2021, An attempt to explain the neurological symptoms of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome[3] - (Full text)
  • 2021, Pathophysiology of skeletal muscle disturbances in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)[2] - (Full text)
  • 2021, Tolerability and Efficacy of s.c. IgG Self-Treatment in ME/CFS Patients with IgG/IgG Subclass Deficiency: A Proof-of-Concept Study[4] - (Full text)
  • 2020, A Unifying Hypothesis of the Pathophysiology of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS): Recognitions from the finding of autoantibodies against ß2-adrenergic receptors[1] - (Full text)

Evidence and related studies[edit | edit source]

  • 2012, Differences in metabolite-detecting, adrenergic, and immune gene expression after moderate exercise in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome, patients with multiple sclerosis, and healthy controls[5] - (Full text)
  • 2011, Gene expression alterations at baseline and following moderate exercise in patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia Syndrome[6] - (Abstract)
  • 2009, Moderate exercise increases expression for sensory, adrenergic, and immune genes in chronic fatigue syndrome patients but not in normal subjects[7] - (Abstract)
