Trial Design
3Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: Hydrogen WaterActive Control2 Interventions
Hydrogen pills are mixed in a water glass that is ingested up to 3 times a day for 8 weeks. The hydrogen supplement is intended to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation both of which are implicated in the pathophysiology of chronic fatigue syndrome. This is an 8 week treatment.
Group II: Combined treatment: Heart rhythm biofeedback plus hydrogen waterActive Control2 Interventions
This condition combines heart rhythm biofeedback and hydrogen water, as described above, which is intended to assess any additive or synergistic effects of the two treatments. This is an 8 week treatment.
Group III: Heart Rhythm BiofeedbackActive Control2 Interventions
Heart rhythm biofeedback is a non-invasive physiological treatment that is administered via an app downloaded to personal smart phones. It involves participants attaching a wireless sensor to the ear that monitors heart rate that is displayed on the phone screen app. The participant is actively involved in modifying the heart biofeedback to achieve optimal levels of heart rate variability, an established indicator of health and well-being and a potential factor in chronic fatigue syndrome. The treatment lasts 8 weeks.
