273                            The European ME Research Group (EMERG) is a network of European  researchers and researcher-clinicians
274                            who formed to collaborate and share knowledge
275                            in research into myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME, sometimes referred to as ME/CFS).

278                            The group was formed in 2015 to create a strategy of high-quality, coordinated biomedical research that would
279                            allow  accumulation of data based on
280                             collaboration and
281                            sharing of experiences and knowledge, and aid identification of areas of research to form this strategy.
282                               <br>
283                            This      assists in expanding the capacity of research in Europe
284                            leading to  progress in developing a rapid pathway for discovering the cause(s) of,
285                            and treatment(s) for, ME.

358Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME, sometimes referred to as ME/CFS)
359 is a serious, acquired, chronic, complex, and systemic disease associated with neurological,
360 immunological, autonomic, and energy metabolism dysfunction (Institute of Medicine, 2015).
361 Individuals with ME  experience a range of symptoms including significant impairment in function, post-exertional malaise, sleep impairment,
362 cognitive issues, pain, orthostatic intolerance, flu-like symptoms, sensory intolerance, gastrointestinal and genitourinary issues.
363
364
365  <p class="lead">
366    ME has been classified as a neurological disorder in the World Health Organisation's International Classification of Diseases under
367    Postviral Fatigue Syndrome (PVFS)
368    since 1969 (WHO code ICD 10 G93.3).
369       <br>
370    Since 1992, the term "Chronic Fatigue Syndrome" (CFS) has been included in the Alphabetical Index and indexed to G93.3
371
372  <br>
373In ICD-11, myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and chronic fatigue syndrome are
374classified under Chapter 8: Diseases of the Nervous System, within the code
3758E49 Postviral fatigue syndrome.
376
377<p class="lead">
378 To date there is no known and universally accepted, specific medical diagnostic test to determine or confirm a correct diagnosis nor is there
379  any specific
380  treatment for this condition.
381               <br>
382                    The cause(s) of ME are unknown, but many individuals with the disease remain ill after an acute
383                    infection with symptoms that persist for six or more months.
384
385     <br>
386                    There is currently no universally accepted diagnostic test or approved treatment for ME.

449                            Advancing the understanding and treatment of ME demands a comprehensive and collaborative approach.
450                            This   combines scientific expertise,
451                             clinical practice, and patient advocacy to accelerate progress.
452                             Key objectives include translating scientific discoveries
453                             into clinical practice, amplifying patient voices, and building research capacity.
454                           <p class="lead">
455                                Collaboration between researchers and clinicians facilitates the rapid integration of new findings into patient care.
456                                Engaging with patient groups within the
457                                European ME Alliance (EMEA) helps address the priorities and needs of those living with ME. Networks such as the
458                                European ME Clinicians Council (EMECC) and Young EMERG support emerging talent and cultivate interest in ME
459                                research among early-career researchers.
460                            <p class="lead">
461                                Uniting these networks enables a collaborative environment that advances ME research and expedites improvements
462                                 in patient outcomes. This collective effort deepens the understanding and enhances the treatment of ME.

556                                            The European ME Alliance (EMEA) brings together patient organisations and charities
557                                            across Europe to advocate
558                                             for those affected by ME. EMEA advocates for patients, campaigns
559                                             for increased funding for biomedical research, and promotes
560                                             the need for better services and treatments.
561                                             By fostering collaboration and sharing experiences, EMEA works to raise awareness and drive progress in ME

2003                Ola Didrik Saugstad: A professor at the University of Oslo,
2004                 played a pivotal role in establishing a specialised care service for severely ill ME
2005                 patients at Røysumtunet, located near Oslo.
2006                 Recognising the substantial need for institutional care among this patient group,
2007                 Professor Saugstad was instrumental in identifying a suitable facility to accommodate them.
2008                 He noted that many of these patients had been confined to their homes for extended periods, often relying solely
2009                 on family members for care, and in some instances, had minimal contact with healthcare services.

2056                Professor Markku Partinen of the University of Helsinki presented findings on dysautonomia, symptoms of ME, and Long COVID at the
2057                 13th Biomedical Research into ME Colloquium (#BRMEC13).
2058                 Additionally, he leads an ongoing project titled "Diagnostics and Categorization of Different Types of ME/CFS," which began in November
2059                  2019.
2060
2061                He was also leading an ongoing research project titled "Diagnostics and Categorization of Different Types of ME/CFS," which commenced on 14 November
2062                 2019. The project aims to enhance the diagnostic accuracy and classification of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) by identifying distinct subtypes of the condition. This initiative seeks to address the heterogeneity of ME/CFS presentations, which often complicates diagnosis and treatment.
2063                By delineating specific subcategories, the research aspires to facilitate more tailored therapeutic approaches and improve
2064                 patient outcomes.
