Intervention(s)
|
Current intervention as of 27/03/2018: Feasibility trial and full trial: Children are randomly allocated into two groups:
Group 1: Activity management (AM) will be delivered by CFS/ME specialists that are not physiotherapists (occupational therapists, nurses, psychologists). Therapists will receive guidance on the Mandatory, Prohibited and Flexible components. Activity management aims to convert a “boom-bust” pattern of activity (lots one day and little the next) to a baseline with the same daily amount. For children/teenagers with CFS/ME these are almost entirely cognitive activities: school, school work, reading.
Group 2: Graded Exercise Therapy (GET) will be delivered by referral to a GET-trained specialist CFS/ME physiotherapist who will receive guidance on the Mandatory, Prohibited and Flexible components. Children will be offered advice that is focused on exercise with detailed assessment of current physical activity, advice about exercise and a programme including timed daily exercise. Children will be asked to record the amount of exercise and taught to use a heart rate monitor with target heart rates.
Participants will be asked to complete follow up at baseline, 6 and 12 months.

Primary Outcome(s)
|
Current primary outcome measures as of 27/03/2018: Feasibility trial: Feasibility and acceptability of investigating GET in a randomised controlled trial measured after 1 year.
Full trial: Physical function is measured with the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF36, physical function sub scale), collected at the 6 month time point.
Previous primary outcome measures: Feasibility and acceptability of investigating GET in a randomised controlled trial measured after 1 year.
|
Secondary Outcome(s)
|
Current secondary outcome measures as of 27/03/2018 (prior to this date there were no secondary outcome measures): Feasibility trial: No secondary outcome measures.
Full trial: 1. School attendance is measured as percentage attendance of expected sessions 2. Fatigue is measured using the Chalder Fatigue score 3. Pain is measured using the visual analogue scale 4. Depression and anxiety are measured using the Spence Children’s Anxiety Scale (SCAS) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS, if they are 12-17 years old) 5. Health related quality of life is measured using the EQ-5D-Y
All of the above outcomes will be measured via child self-completed questionnaires at baseline, 6 and 12 months as well as a measure of physical function the SF36-PFS at 12 months.
