Better understanding ME/CFS syndrome during sleep

The exact causes of myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) are not fully understood. The Fraunhofer IDMT in Oldenburg wants to use its mobile EEG system for sleep monitoring in the home environment as part of the BMBF-funded research network “Sleep-Neuro-Path” to support the study of neurophysiological sleep characteristics in affected patients. Over the next three years, the project consortium will investigate biological mechanisms of the disease with the aim of helping to develop effective therapies. The project will be presented to the public on May 13, 2025, at the ME/CFS Symposium in Berlin.
