Just pointing it out Neuro. I know this and I get it. I have statistics! Pilot studies are necessary. It Doesn't mean I have to feel confident in small sample sizes though...I take them lightly until the numbers are more persuasive.
Scrambler therapy is a case in point. I want to have faith in it, believe me I do, but there isn't really data there yet. I do appreciate you posting the info.

I know that you understand it but there are lots of people who don't know about how clinical trials work so my reply was really aimed at a general audience.
As for that Calmare business, don't get me started on the lack of evidence base. Not to mention the basis of the FDA filing for the medical device. It always causes a huge outcry if anyone criticises it so I am saying no more. |

Thanks. I'm with you. Pretty sure we share the same view on FDA approvals given by piggybacking on "similar" devices. The category of "massagers" contains devices that are pretty much capable of lithotripsy. This happens all the time and it just makes me highly suspicious of gizmos. There are some things that flat out have the capacity to hurt people but adequate controls aren't in place. It's a darn shame because I'm sure there are also devices that help. But how ya gonna know?

The full text of the research referenced above is freely available here:
http://www.nature.com/articles/srep14329 It turns out that this finding was essentially something the researchers came across by accident when examining other brain features. |
