Re: PARALYZED LUNG - PHRENIC NERVE REPAIR TO DIAPHRAGM
Everything in the body is a web. There are many "connected" parts making the whole you. If the diaphragm is paralyzed (or a portion from one side - right or left) there are several corresponding consequences that will not be addressed by the majority of physicians or specialists. In fact I...

Re: 4‐Aminopyridine promotes functional recovery and remyelination in acute peripheral nerve injury
Igonda, Thanks for the kind words of appreciation. The science is there, it'll be just a matter of time before it all comes together. Wise move being cautious with medications, as I've experienced the same "half-awake", which was worse in the end than the pain (if that is possible!). All t...

Smartphone study on weather and pain reveals early data
Great idea!
Got to get these folks to extend this study to the USA (it's for the UK only right now).

Efficacy of cranial electrotherapy stimulation for neuropathic pain following spinal cord injury: a multi-site randomize
I'm currently researching Spinal Cord Stimulators (SCS) and Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulators (CES). SCS's are more invasive as they require an implanted electrodes into the spinal cord, and the device itself is implanted beneath the skin. Here's one company's CES I'm looking into: http://www.fishe...
