The conference will include a presentation by consultant neurologist Professor Leslie Findley who contributed to the World Health Organisation’s classification of ME as a neurological disorder and Dr Alan Stewart along with therapists from the NHS Sussex ME/CFS Service based at Haywards Heath will discuss treatment approaches currently available.
Dr Neil Harrison a clinician scientist at Sussex University who is involved in research into the neurological aspects of ME will be speaking about a Medical Research Council funded study he is carrying out in collaboration with London’s St Georges Hospital and giving an update on the study’s recruitment.
Charity chairman, Colin Barton, said: “This study has the potential to identify a brain network that is abnormally and persistently activated in people with ME/CFS. A better understanding of the neurobiological cause of ME/CFS will ultimately allow for the development of better forms of treatment for this debilitating illness.”
