Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluation of the feasibility and tolerance of clinical and instrumental investigations in patients with severe ME/CFS. The tolerability of the planned assessments, conducted during home visits, will be evaluated in patients with severe ME/CFS. The assessments are structured according to perceived exertion, starting with activities of very low intensity. The endpoint is defined as the individual point at which a participant chooses to discontinue the assessment due to excessive exertion or upon completion of all planned assessments. The aim is to determine which procedures are acceptable and feasible for this highly impaired patient population. | — |
