The Top 10+ priorities for research into ME / CFS have been identified. These priorities have been determined as a result of rigorous work engaging with thousands of people living with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, their families and carers, and health professionals working to support these people.
“Now that we have the Top 10+, researchers, funders and government must work with people with ME/CFS to produce the highest quality research into these areas, and continue to prioritise ME”
Gemma Hoyes, PSP steering group member
The list of priority research areas, as well as downloadable and audio versions of the project report can be found at psp-me.co.uk
“I welcome the publication of this Priority Setting Partnership which sets out the Top 10+ research priorities for ME. The Government recognises that ME is an under-researched area and pledges to support research funders and the academic community to respond to this independent report.”
The Rt Hon, Sajid Javid, MP, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care
We thank all who took part in the surveys and workshops, the funders, Steering Group, James Lind Alliance and all who supported this project.
