A systematic review of the evidence base for the Lightning Process.
Objective
This systematic review evaluates the methodological quality of existing studies on the LP and collates and reviews its reported efficacy.
Highlights
• First systematic review into the Lightning Process.
• Found a variance in quality of studies from good to fair and in reported patient outcomes.
• All studies evidenced a level of benefit from the intervention, commonly for majority of participants.
2. Is Lightning Process a novel treatment or just CBT re-packed?
Objective
To describe LP in comparison with SMC approaches in order to identify distinct elements, inform clinicians about treatment options, and generate hypotheses around effectiveness.
Results
•"New #research has been published comparing the #lightningprocess (LP) to UK specialist medical care (SMC) used for paediatric CFS by a team led by researchers at the University of Bristol. It identifies differences & similarities between the two approaches and notes overlaps with SMC and some distinct elements of LP, such as the LP's focus on language style, neurophysiological rationale, affective/physiological change technique and mode of delivery"
