"Bias in research is "a systematic deviation of an observation from the true clinical state" (Sackett et al., 1986).[1]
Bradycardia
bradycardia
slowness of the heartbeat, so that the pulse rate is less than 60 per minute in an adult.[3]
CBT
Cognitive behavioral therapy[citation needed]
CF
Chronic fatigue; this persistent and abnormal is a symptom not an illness. May be caused by depression, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome or many other illnesses.[4]
Cognitions

Iatrogenic harm
iatrogenic harm
Iatrogenic

(iatrogenic

Accidental harm caused by a doctor or by medical treatment or diagnostic procedures.[7]
ME
M.E.
Myalgic encephalomyelitis or M.E. has different diagnostic criteria to chronic fatigue syndrome; neurological symptoms are required but fatigue is an optional symptom.[8] Many people with CFS do not have ME, although the World Health Organization and others use ME and CFS interchangeably.[9][10]
ME/CFS
Myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome, often used when both illnesses are considered the same.
RCT
RCTs
Randomized controlled trial
randomized controlled trial
Randomised controlled trial
randomised controlled trial
Randomized controlled trial. Participants are randomly assigned to two or more groups, with one group receiving the treatment and a control or comparison group receiving a different treatment or placebo. (A glossary of EBM terms, BMJ).
NICE guidelines
NICE
NICE guidelines are clinical guidelines used in the UK.[11]
Pharyngitis
pharyngitis
Pharyngitis is a sudden swelling of the pharnyx caused by an infection, eg Streptococcus. The hallmark symptom is a sore throat without cough.[12][13]
Phase 3
