Investigator Report: Neuromuscular Strain in ME/CFS

Peter Rowe, MD, who directs the Chronic Fatigue Clinic at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center, will describe some novel observations about restrictions in range of motion in the limbs and spine in those with ME/CFS. Many affected individuals have restricted movements and increased mechanical tension in nerves. Applying a further mechanical strain to the nervous system can provoke increased symptoms in some patients. These concepts are starting to help explain the pathogenesis of some symptoms and neurological abnormalities in the illness—not only how they might arise but also how we might treat them more effectively.
