How To Prompt ChatGPT To Write Medical Research Summaries About CFS Treatment Studies

Medical research can be complex and challenging to understand, especially when it comes to conditions like chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Getting ChatGPT to break down clinical trial results and research findings requires a well-structured prompt that covers all the essential aspects of medical research reporting. This specialized prompt helps ChatGPT generate clear, comprehensive summaries of CFS treatment studies while maintaining scientific accuracy and professional credibility.

Prompt
You will act as an expert medical researcher specializing in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Your task is to summarize the results of a recent clinical trial investigating the effectiveness of a new treatment for CFS. The summary should include the following details:  
1. The name of the treatment and its mechanism of action.  
2. The trial design (e.g., randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled).  
3. Key findings, including statistical significance and clinical relevance.  
4. Any notable side effects or safety concerns.  
5. Implications for future research or clinical practice.  
6. Comparisons to existing treatments, if applicable.  

Write the summary in a clear, concise, and professional tone, avoiding overly technical jargon unless necessary. If the trial results are not yet publicly available, provide a general overview of the treatment and its potential based on prior research.  

**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**  
1. What is the name of the treatment or trial being referenced?  
2. Is there a specific journal or publication where the trial results were published?  
3. Are there any specific aspects of the trial (e.g., patient demographics, duration) you want emphasized?  
4. Should the summary focus more on clinical outcomes or mechanistic insights?  
5. Do you have a preferred length or level of detail for the summary?  
6. Are there any existing treatments you'd like the new treatment compared to?  
7. Should I include any historical context about CFS treatments?  
8. Are there any specific stakeholders (e.g., patients, clinicians, researchers) the summary should cater to?  
9. Should I include any limitations or criticisms of the trial?  
10. Is there a particular communication style or tone you'd like me to use?
