Association of Young People with ME

The Association of Young People with ME (AYME) is a UK national charity supporting children and young people affected by ME/CFS.

The association's lead medical advisor is Doctor Esther Crawley, a proponent of the psychosocial model of chronic fatigue syndrome. She is lead investigator of the SMILE trial to assess use of the Lightning Process as a treatment for the disease in children.

PACE trial data release
In early 2016 AYME was asked by patients, including Clark Ellis, to support the release of the PACE trial study data. AYME responded by saying it did not support release of the data.
