Research Project Examining structural and functional abnormalities of brain, heart and muscle Dr Julia Newton |
MERGE have recently funded a study that will allow us to perform the same series of autonomic function tests in those with CFS/ME, we are however keen to include those from the CFS/ME in the entire protocol and the funds from the Northern CFS/ME Clinical Network will facilitate this. The Medical Research Council MR protocols include imaging of 3 separate areas (brain, heart, muscle), and we have therefore incorporated into this application requests for funding in each of these areas. We anticipate that the pilot data generated from this pilot study will inform an application to a major funding organisation to further evaluate the pathogenesis of fatigue in
We are performing test of heart rate and blood pressure and performing MR scans of brains and muscles in people with CFS/ME. In order to determine whether our results are abnormal it is important that we compare them to results from the same series of tests in people without You can help in this important study Healthy Volunteers needed…………… If you would like more information - please contact us on [email protected] Jessie will then contact you to let you know what the study involves.
