[[File:France_flag.svg.png|320px|right|thumb|'''France''']] ==Demographics== There is no precise measure of the prevalence of [[ME/CFS]] in France. French researchers refer to numbers coming from the [[UK]].<ref name="JDK-201">[http://www.asso-sfc.org/documents/201-Le-Syndrome-de-Fatigue-Chronique-JD-de-Korwin.pdf Syndrome de Fatigue Chronique - Pr. Jean-Dominique de Korwin]</ref> Professor [[Jean-Dominique de Korwin]] cites prevalence numbers varying between 0.2% and 2.6% of the general population.<ref name="JDK-201" /> The number of 150,000 persons affected is often cited to but doesn't have any known source. ==Organizations== ===Asso SFC=== There is only one association for [[ME/CFS]] patients in France, called [http://www.asso-sfc.org/ Asso SFC]. The association has around 200 members, and it supports or tolerates [[Cognitive behavioral therapy |Cognitive Behavioral Therapy]] (CBT) and [[graded exercise therapy|Graded Exercise Therapy]] (GET) treatments, as well as the "[[Biopsychosocial model|biopsychosocial]]" model of the disease, supported by the members of the association's scientific council<ref name="ANewDisorder">[http://www.em-consulte.com/en/article/1059480 Chronic fatigue syndrome: A new disorder?]</ref> of doctors from diverse domains, including neurologists, immunologists, psychologists and gastro-enterologists.<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://www.asso-sfc.org/asfc-conseil-scientifique.php | title = Conseil scientifique de l'Association Française du Syndrome de Fatigue Chronique | website = asso-sfc.org|access-date=2020-05-26}}</ref> Some of doctors receive patients in specialized services, where they are able to diagnose the disease, mostly based on the [[Fukuda criteria]] according to Professor [[Jean-Dominique de Korwin]].<ref name="ANewDisorder" /> The association provides a newsletter and has local support groups. ===EM Action=== [http://www.em-action.fr EM Action] is a French website that mostly reports about the international news and research about ME. These organization sometimes work together, as for the 2017 ME/CFS international day where they released a [http://www.em-action.fr/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/communiqu%C3%A9-presse-12-mai-2017.pdf joint press release]. ==Research== There is currently no effort to research the disease or treatments for the disease by the French government. Most of the rare publications about the disease come from the scientific council of the association, the most notable being <ref name="em-consulte" />, which reports some of the international biomedical research, but endorses the UK [[biopsychosocial]] model of the disease, citing the [[PACE trial]] as a source. The paper also makes some bold claims without citing any source, like that CFS "greatly improves or cures itself in 3 to 5 years in half the cases" and "psychological factors prevent the patients from recovering." <ref name="em-consulte">{{Cite journal | last = de Korwin | first = J.-D. | author-link = Jean-Dominique de Korwin | last2 = Chiche | first2 = L. | authorlink2 = | last3 = Banovic | first3 = I. | authorlink3 = | last4 = Ghali | first4 = A. | authorlink4 = Alaa Ghali | last5 = Delliaux | first5 = S. | authorlink5 = | last6 = Authier | first6 = F.-J. | authorlink6 = François Authier | last7 = Cozon | first7 = G. | author-link8 = Grégoire Cozon | last8 = Hatron | first8 = P. -Y. | last9 = Fornasieri | first9 = I. | date = 2016-12-01 | title = Le syndrome de fatigue chronique : une nouvelle maladie?| url = http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0248866316303526|journal=La Revue de Médecine Interne|language=fr|volume=37|issue=12 | pages = 811–819|doi=10.1016/j.revmed.2016.05.003|issn=0248-8663|pmc=|pmid=|access-date=|quote=|via=}}</ref> A small team of researchers from the faculty of medicine of Marseilles regularly publishes papers about the disease,<ref>{{Cite web | url = https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15715687/ | title = Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Assessment of Increased Oxidative Stress and Altered Muscle Excitability in Response to Incremental Exercise | last = Jammes | first = Y | authorlink = | last2 = Steinberg | first2 = JG | authorlink2 = | date = Mar 2005 | website = Journal of internal medicine|language=en|pmid=15715687|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=2020-05-26 | last3 = Mambrini | first3 = O | last4 = Brégeon | first4 = F | last5 = Delliaux | first5 = S}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web | url = https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19457057/ | title = Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Combines Increased Exercise-Induced Oxidative Stress and Reduced Cytokine and Hsp Responses | last = Jammes | first = Y | authorlink = | last2 = Steinberg | first2 = JG | authorlink2 = | date = Aug 2009 | website = Journal of internal medicine|language=en|pmid=19457057|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=2020-05-26 | last3 = Delliaux | first3 = S | last4 = Brégeon | first4 = F}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web | url = https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22112145/ | title = Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Acute Infection and History of Physical Activity Affect Resting Levels and Response to Exercise of Plasma Oxidant/Antioxidant Status and Heat Shock Proteins | last = Jammes | first = Y | authorlink = | last2 = Steinberg | first2 = JG | authorlink2 = | date = Jul 2012 | website = Journal of internal medicine|language=en|pmid=22112145|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=2020-05-26 | last3 = Delliaux | first3 = S}}</ref> the last one being "Association of biomarkers with health-related quality of life and history of stressors in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome patients."<ref>{{Cite web | url = https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27580693/ | title = Association of Biomarkers With Health-Related Quality of Life and History of Stressors in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Patients | last = Fenouillet | first = E | authorlink = | last2 = Vigouroux | first2 = A | authorlink2 = | date = 2016-08-31 | website = Journal of translational medicine|language=en|pmid=27580693|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=2020-05-26 | last3 = Steinberg | first3 = JG | last4 = Chagvardieff | first4 = A | last5 = Retornaz | first5 = F | last6 = Guieu | first6 = R | last7 = Jammes | first7 = Y}}</ref> Some ME "deniers" also publish regular papers, one of the most prolific being Pr.
