Research
FORME is dedicated to helping osteopathic research into chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS/ME) also known in the USA as CFIDS. FORME has funded research for the past 9 years that has led to the scientific support of The Perrin Technique™ which has helped hundreds of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS/ME) and totally cured many since 1989. The Perrin Technique™ was developed following a discovery in 1989 during the clinical practice of Manchester osteopath Dr Raymond Perrin. This osteopathic system of manual treatment alleviates many of the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) known in the UK as CFS/ME. The effectiveness of this manual approach was tested using two separate clinical trials both funded by FORME. The first examined the change in the symptoms following a year of treatment. The second repeated the first study and examined the possible mechanisms of the improvement. Dr Raymond Perrin's research at the University of Salford in conjunction with the University of Manchester has provided strong evidence that an important component of CFS/ME involves a disturbance of lymphatic drainage of the brain and muscles. The novel osteopathic treatment developed by Dr Raymond Perrinhas been statistically validated in both clinical trials, emphasising the need to focus future research on the biomechanical aspects of this disorder., Raymond has expanded our knowledge of CFS/ME, which led to a doctorate awarded by the University of Salford.
