Hi Everybody

I'm looking for help

I've designed a survey for people with a spinal cord injury. It's the second part of a research project where I've been looking at "phantom sensation/pain. I've made the questionnaire available here. Can you have a look and if you're interested give it a go?

I know it will take up a bit of your time so there's an incentive. I've created a 200 Euro lottery and anyone that wants to leave contact details at the end of the survey (first name and email) is entered. If you are going to give it a go fill out as many episodes as you can. Most people seem to create 3-4 in the morning, 3-4 in the afternoon and the last 3-4 in the evening (this makes more sense when you see the survey)

Most of my info is in the profile but here it is again: My name is Daren Drysdale and I'm currently a mature student in Trinity College Dublin in Ireland (I went back to college because I'm a closet masochist). I'm also a psychophysiologist/biofeedback therapist and I worked for over a decade in Santa Clara Valley Medical Center's psychology/rehab department in California.

I published a paper in 2009 where I asked people with SCI about sensations below their level of injury (This is the Pubmed Entry if you want to see an abstract). Almost everyone I worked with both in the research and in the clinic, told me that they felt sensations below their level of injury and now I'd like to find out when they feel the sensations and see if they are linked to anything else.

All my contact info is in the survey but if you want more info you can post here instead.

I'll keep posting to let anyone who is interested know what's happening. If you want to you can post here and let us know how it went

Thanks for reading
Daren

Done,

best of luck with the survey.

Should have given an option to donate to a charity for the lottery money!

Hi Imposter

Thanks for taking the time.

Charity idea is great, I wish I thought of it when I was designing but I suppose anybody who wins can donate wherever they wish
