It's almost as if they know Neurologix is really offering a superior treatment and are wanting to be a part of the deal.
Most articles I have read give very little detail on the procedure itself, but this article explains the newer bedside delivery innovation and the sham procedure. I have wondered how a sham surgery is performed; this is the first article I have read that clearly explains the sham surgery details. I have also read that the real deal will be given to the control group at the end of the study if they so opt to have it.
One of the lead researchers is my former neuro Dr. Lewitt, so I may be calling to see if I qualify for further trials.
Thanks for the extras!
Laura
