Hi All, Just finished my small part of an 18 mo study of the effects tms has on pd as it relates to fatigue. The lead researcher indicated there was about a year left before the study will be complete and though she said they had discovered some interesting things I couldnt pry them out of her. From one subjects experience there are some short term benefits that are subtle and difficult to quantify. I expect that the mechanism might be similar to that of dbs. But no one can explain why it works either unless there has been progress in this I'm unaware of. One problem is that it requires a great deal of electrical energy to generate the magnetic pulses (they are quite powerful). Another problem that is that the apparatus is a bit noisy. it also needs to cooled because of all those particles and waves and stuff. \Randy 42/59 Games To Entertain Your Brain http://www.stargraphics.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "MyFirstname Mylastname" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Sunday, May 04, 2008 11:43 PM Subject: Re: New Member > Brian > > > Thanks fr your message.
