Summary

This study tested whether a procedure called immunoadsorption, which filters certain antibodies from the blood, can reduce fatigue in people with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), including those with post-COVID CFS. 66 adults with confirmed autoantibodies received either five real treatments or sham treatments over 10 days, then were followed for 6 months. The main goal was to see if fatigue scores improved at 3 months, and to check safety and side effects.
