Cindy I think it's great. Wonderful road trip idea.
I just wondered about one thing BNAC mentioned.

Please do not make any travel plans until your enrollment is confirmed. All testing procedures are paid for by BNAC. However, there is no financial compensation for your participation, or travel and related expenses.

That makes sense the above.

But if you pay the money is the below true, or did I miss something?

No Doppler or MRV reports will be given to participants or their physicians. Research MRI reports of the brain can be made available upon request.

Is this the new one you will be in, a study and procedure with balloon?

COMING SOON…..

We are excited to announce a new pilot research study conducted by the Departments of Neurology and Neurosurgery to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of intravascular angioplasty for the treatment of venous narrowing in the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

Thirty (30) MS patients will go through a two phase study which will include selective Venography followed by a balloon angioplasty procedure. Study testing will include Doppler ultrasound, MRI with MRV, physical and neurological examinations, CT Angiogram (CTA) of the head and neck and CT Perfusion (CTP) of the head.

All of these tests will be performed at baseline (prior to any treatment) and at 1 month after treatment. A subset of these tests will also be performed 3 and 6 months post treatment.
