CFS/ME Brain Retraining Studies

• Can amygdala retraining techniques improve the wellbeing of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome? A clinical audit of subjective outcomes in a small sample, by Ashok Gupta. Source: Journal of Holistic Healthcare Volume 7 Issue 2 September 2010.

MCS Brain Retraining Studies

• Brain dysfunction in multiple chemical sensitivity Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) is a chronic acquired disorder of unknown pathogenesis. The aim of this study was to ascertain whether MCS patients present brain single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and psychometric scale changes after a chemical challenge.

• Pavlovian conditioning of emotional responses to olfactory and contextual stimuli: a potential model for the development and expression of chemical intolerance. Paper describing the potential relationship between olfactory and contextual conditioning in experimental animals and the development and expression of chemical intolerance in humans. Source: PubMed
• Does the kindling model of epilepsy contribute to our understanding of multiple chemical sensitivity? A number of parallels exist between kindling and MCS phenomena, leading to initial speculations that MCS may occur via a kindling-like mechanism. Source: PubMed
