LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS FOR IMPORTANT RESEARCH TO EXAMINE PATHOLOGY, AND IMPROVE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF

CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME.

The National Centre for Neuroimmunology and Emerging Diseases (NCNED), at Griffith University is recruiting volunteers for their research on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a highly disabling condition affecting 200,000 individuals in Australia.  To improve the health of patients with this condition, urgent research is required to understand the pathology involved and provide better diagnostic and treatment options.

This study is seeking individuals diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, as well as healthy volunteers.  To be a healthy volunteer, you should not have any pre-existing health conditions.

Participation in this study will involve:

• Being between 18 and 70 years of age
• Attending a collection centre, which are at various locations in Australia
• Donate 85ml of blood
• Complete an online questionnaire.  This will take approximately 30 minutes, but can be saved and completed in your own time

In appreciation for your time, you will receive:

• $5 GiftCard for Coles
• Automatically join a draw to win a $100, $200 or $500 Coles Myer Gift Card
