Outcome switching
From MEpedia, a crowd-sourced encyclopedia of ME and CFS science and history
Outcome switching or outcome swapping is when authors of a clinical trial "move the goal posts" during a trial, which may be done to achieve the desired results.
The PACE trial authors, in a clinical trial of ME/CFS patients undergoing GET/CBT, employed this tactic.
