My pleasure. Give me a couple of days and I'll have much more. The question of why more hasn't been done about it is perhaps one of the most intriguing of all, my best guess is that the side effects of bi-lateral ECT scared off most doctors who looked at this - although in cases of extreme CRPS there is definitely a quality of life calculation to be made - while at the same time right-unilateral ECT had acquired an unfair reputation as being inaffective for pain, even though it's currently the preferred choice for "major depressive episodes": just as effective as bi-lateral but without the side effects.
