Hi All --

I work in a research lab at Spaulding Rehab Hospital in Boston, MA. I wanted to post here to make our research available to your community. Our lab is the Lab of Neuromodulation, and we focus on using non-invasive methods of brain stimulation to help those with neurological disorders, like chronic pain due to spinal cord injury. Our website is www.neuromodulationlab.org. We are part of the Partners HealthCare network and are affiliated with Harvard Medical School. Below, I have posted our advertisement for one of our research studies in spinal cord injury. If you have any interest, or questions, please feel free to contact as requested below!


Seeking Spinal Cord Injury Patients for Research Using Noninvasive Brain Stimulation

Participants must be 18-64 years of age with no history of schizophrenia, or alcohol or drug abuse within the last year.

This study uses a technique called transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS).

Testing will involve brain stimulation for a total of 16 visits. Research is being conducted at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, located in Boston, MA.

You will be compensated $25 per visit for your participation, and parking will be reimbursed.

For more information, please contact the Laboratory of Neuromodulation by phone at 617-573-2196 or by email at recruitment@neuromodulationlab.org. Please note that you will be contacted for screening once availability in the lab schedule develops.

I'll stick to cryptic crosswords thanks..
Out of the gloom a voice said unto me, "Smile and be happy, things could be worse." So I smiled and was happy and behold things did get worse.
