Cochrane CFS exercise review[edit | edit source]

In February 2020, Cochrane announced that Hilda Bastian would lead the independent advisory group for the full update of the Cochrane Review Exercise therapy for chronic fatigue syndrome,[2] a review which she had previously criticized.

Dr Bastian published two previous blog posts on Cochrane's review of the impact and effectiveness of exercise therapy, including graded exercise therapy, in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome.
