TMS IN CHRONIC NEUROPATHIC PAIN TRIAL UPDATE 30th November 2011
We have recruited the first 12 individuals into the study (funded by The Pain Relief Foundation and the National Institute of Health Research). They will commence TMS trials in January 2012. We are currently planning to recruit a further 12 subjects, which will involve an assessment at the Walton Centre. If you are one of the 300+ individuals who have submitted their details to be considered for future trials, then you should have some news early in the new year regarding your involvement.
We thank you for your interest in our work and will be updating this site regarding our progress.
