Intent-to-treat means for fatigue and physical function ratings, the two measures that contributed to the criterion for improvement specified in the published protocol (Definition A in Table 1). Estimates of healthy performance for the fatigue and physical function measures are based on previously published samples that further excluded the elderly (over 60), and those with a significant medical condition (95% CI bands = upper and lower bounds of 95% confidence interval). The relevant normative data for the Chalder Fatigue Questionnaire were obtained from [48], and those for the SF-36 physical function scale were obtained from [49]. In the case of the SF-36 scale, the healthy sample was highly negatively skewed, so medians are reported. The median score for this sample was 100 (95% confidence intervals: 100,100)
