NCT03567811 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 72

Last updated 2019-06-20

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Post-exertional malaise was modeled by having Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and sedentary control subjects perform submaximal exercise on 2 consecutive days with objective changes in brain function measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during cognitive tests before and after the 2 exercise sessions.

Conditions

  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Submaximal bicycle exercise stress test on Days 1 and 2

Identical submaximal stress tests were performed on both days to see if Day 1 exercise reduced performance on Day 2, or caused changes between BOLD scans during cognitive testing between Day 1 and Day 2.
