Summary
This study is testing whether N-Acetylcysteine (NAC), an antioxidant supplement, can help people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). Researchers will give different doses of NAC or a placebo to 95 adults aged 21-60 to see how it affects brain glutathione (GSH) levels and markers of oxidative stress. The goal is to understand if NAC can protect the brain from damage and potentially lead to new treatments for this condition.
