Sorry, Aaron, I didn't read it closely enough before passing it along here. Had I seen the T5 requirement I wouldn't have forwarded it to this list.
My apologies. Don. On Wednesday, December 11, 2013 1:24 PM, Aaron Mann <[email protected]> wrote: T5 or below, it's for Paraplegics. I don't know about the rest of you, but through the years as a Quad I've noticed that very few programs, studies or support exist. Personally, I've always felt like the outcast when it comes to these things.

We have been conducting clinical research studies with the purpose of discovering new drugs to treat chronic pain in spinal cord injury patients for over 15years now. We are actively recruiting for a spinal cord injury pain trial that is evaluating a new treatment for chronic neuropathic pain. It would be great if you could share this information with your members! >The study would require 4 short inpatients visits to Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston MA, and we will help with arrangements and provide full reimbursement for travel expenses. For this study, we are looking for individuals who have an injury at T5 or below with chronic neuropathic pain observed for at least 3 months. I have attached an announcement to this email so that you can review them and share with the team. Do you have a web site where we could post the information? If you have any questions about the study, please let me know. >Many Thanks! >Ilana Pomerantz >Study Coordinator >Translational Pain Research >Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Management >Brigham and Women's Hospital >75 Francis St, NA L1106D >Boston, Ma 02115 >Office 617-525-7246 >Fax 425-675-5556 >www.paintrials.org
