[[File:Leorey Saligan.png|200px|thumb|right|Source:NIH]] '''Leorey N. Saligan''', Ph.D., R.N., C.R.N.P., is a Assistant Clinical Investigator in the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) of the United States [[National Institutes of Health]]. His research interests center around fatigue, particularly fatigue experienced by cancer patients as a result of his parents both being diagnosed with cancer. He has developed an exercise intervention geared to improve aerobic metabolism of patients in order to potentially reduce oxidative stress, inflammation, and fatigue. Dr Saligan is one of the Associate Investigators assigned to the [[NIH Post-Infectious ME/CFS Study]].<ref>https://www.cdc.gov/cdcgrandrounds/pdf/archives/2016/feb2016.pdf page 54</ref> Dr Saligan serves on the editorial board of the journal, [[Fatigue: Biomedicine, Health & Behavior]], published on behalf of the [[IACFS/ME]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tandfonline.com/action/journalInformation?show=editorialBoard&journalCode=rftg20& | title = Fatigue: Biomedicine, Health & Behavior | website = tandfonline.com|access-date=2019-11-01}}</ref> ==Controversy== In a very small uncontrolled study (n = 9) exploring the relationship between [[gene expression]] and [[pain catastrophizing]] in fibromyalgia, Saligan and his co-authors used a score of 16 on the Pain Catastrophizing Scale as the threshold for determination of "high catastrophizing".<ref>[http://www.nursingoutlook.org/article/S0029-6554%2813%2900062-6/fulltext/ Gene expression profiles of fatigued fibromyalgia patients with different categories of pain and catastrophizing: A preliminary report]</ref> That is in stark contrast with the threshold of 30 recommended by the scale's creators to indicate a "clinically relevant level of catastrophizing," and a mean score for 851 injured workers was 20.90.<ref>[http://sullivan-painresearch.mcgill.ca/pdf/pcs/PCSManual_English.pdf The Pain Catastrophizing Scale: User Manual]</ref> Even the high catastrophizing subgroup (n = 5) in the study averaged a pain catastrophizing score of only 23.6, well below the recommended threshold. The authors concluded that "specific physiological pathways may possibly delineate pain and catastrophizing mechanisms." ==ME/CFS Common Data Element (CDE) Project== Member on both the Fatigue Working Group and the Pain Working Group of the Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Common Data Element (CDE) Project sponsored by the [[National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke]] and the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.commondataelements.ninds.nih.gov/Myalgic%20Encephalomyelitis/Chronic%20Fatigue%20Syndrome#pane-138 | title = Complete Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome CDE Roster | last = | first = | authorlink = | date = | website = NIH|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=2019-10-11}}</ref> ==Notable studies== *2017, Public Review - Draft of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) Common Data Elements (CDE); Fatigue Subgroup Materials<ref>{{Citation | last1 = Cella | first1 = David | authorlink = David Cella | last2 = Dimmock | first2 = Mary | authorlink2 = Mary Dimmock | last3 = Friedberg | first3 = Fred | authorlink3 = Fred Friedberg | last4 = Lin | first4 = Jin-Mann Sally | authorlink4 = Jin-Mann Sally Lin | last5 = Nacul | first5 = Luis | authorlink5 = Luis Nacul | last6 = Saligan | first6 = Leorey | authorlink6 = Leorey Saligan | title = NINDS/CDC Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) Common Data Elements (CDE); Fatigue Subgroup Materials | date = Dec 2017|url=https://www.commondataelements.ninds.nih.gov/Doc/MECFS/03_Fatigue_Subgroup_CDE_Draft_Recommendations.pdf}}</ref> - [https://www.commondataelements.ninds.nih.gov/Doc/MECFS/03_Fatigue_Subgroup_CDE_Draft_Recommendations.pdf (Full Text)] *2016, Different Phenotyping Approaches Lead to Dissimilar Biologic Profiles in Men With Chronic Fatigue After Radiation Therapy<ref>Feng LR, Dickinson K, Kline N, Saligan LN.
