Hydrogen Water Intervention With Heart Rate Variability as an Outcome Biomarker in ME/CFS (NCT07009691)

Heart Rate Variability as an Autonomic Marker of Improvement in ME/CFS in a Hydrogen Water Treatment Study

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ๐Ÿ“‹ Clinical Research Protocol Sponsor: Stony Brook University

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the OTC supplement, hydrogen water, works to treat the fatigue-related symptoms and functional limitations in adults with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). It will also examine if heart rate variability (HRV) can be used to predict who will benefit from the hydrogen water treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the OTC supplement, hydrogen water, work to reduce the fatigue-related symptoms and improve functioning in participants who have ME/CFS? Can HRV be used to predict who will benefit from treatment with hydrogen water?
