NOT: Healthy Volunteers Needed For Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Study

Note: People in the Palo Alto area may wish to ask healthy friends to
volunteer. If they are willing to participate at no charge that keeps
down the expenses of the study. In order to have sufficient power for
a study there need to not only be a substantial number of patients,
but an equally substantial number of controls. And such studies are
expensive.

Healthy Volunteers Needed For Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Study

Would you like to be a control in a study?

Dr. Jose G. Montoya, Associate Professor of Medicine at Stanford, is
conducting a study looking for pathogens that may be associated with
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

His team is looking for controls of the same age and sex as patients
in the study.

We are currently seeking female participants ages 35-71

Participation in the study involves doing a
20-minute phone screening interview.
If you are eligible, you will be invited to come to Stanford for a
60-minute study visit, including a blood draw.

There is no cost to participate in the study.

You will be compensated with $100 upon completion of the study visit
to reimburse you for your time and inconvenience.

If you are interested in participating or have any questions, please
contact the study coordinator,
Jane Norris, at (650) 723-8126.

For general information about participant rights,
contact 1-866-680-2906.
