Peter Wostyn
From MEpedia, a crowd-sourced encyclopedia of ME and CFS science and history
Peter Wostyn, MD, works in the Department of Psychiatry, Psychiatrisch Centrum Sint-Amandus, Beernem, Belgium[1] and is a co-founder of P&X Medical, a biotech company focused on the treatment of intracranial pressure, cerebrospinal fluid turnover and glymphatic flow in neurodegenerative disorders, with a primary focus on glaucoma.[2]
Dr Wostyn developed the unproven glymphatic dysfunction hypothesis which postulates that a dysfunction of the waste clearance system, called the glymphatic system, causes a build-up of toxins within the central nervous system, which he hypothesised precipitates at least some cases of ME/CFS.[3]
Notable studies[edit | edit source]
- 2018, Can cerebrospinal fluid diversion be beneficial in the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome?[4]
- 2018, The putative glymphatic signature of chronic fatigue syndrome: A new view on the disease pathogenesis and therapy[3] - (Abstract)
- 2019, Retinal nerve fiber layer thinning in chronic fatigue syndrome as a possible ocular biomarker of underlying glymphatic system dysfunction[5]
