In response to a question, where can I sign up for a clinical trial
on...?
The answer is: go to www.clinicaltrials.gov,
to find out. For example, if you search on "Transcranial
Direct Current Stimulation", you get
href="http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct/search?term=Transcranial+Direct+Current+Stimulation&submit=Search">16
results. However, no current trial involves
treatment for pain. There is one for treatment of depression,
but it is at the University
of New South Wales. UNSW is a fine institution, but
it's a bit far to travel, for those of us in North America.
If you're interested in something specifically in the Ann Arbor area,
you can try the UM site, Engage.
