Edward Fogarty, M.D. Hopefully this study will be repeated in a multi-center trial in academic medical centers as it does seem promising, with some added neurofunctional imaging such as SPECT, PET or fMRI with MRS. The difficulties of shamming or placebo grouping this intervention seems to have plagued the idea since its first inceptions for medical therapy.
