Participant-rated change in CGI from baseline
| GES group (n=97) | Control group (n=101) | |
|---|---|---|
| Overall health | ||
| Positive change | 17 (18%) | 5 (5%) |
| Minimum change | 79 (81%) | 88 (87%) |
| Negative change | 1 (1%) | 8 (8%) |
| Odds ratio* (95% CI) | 4·8 (1·9–12·4) | .. |
| p value | 0·001 | .. |
| Chronic fatigue syndrome | ||
| Positive change | 14 (14%) | 6 (6%) |

Positive change was defined as “much better” or “very much better”; minimal change was defined as “a little better”, “a little worse”, or “no change”; and negative change was defined as “much worse” or “very much worse”. GES=guided graded exercise self-help. CGI=clinical global impression.
