I guess the study finished, at least there's a matching publication:

Is this good news? Anyone taking these meds?

 

This looks really promising but it's showing a completion date in 2013.

What's the latest on this. Anyone have any insight?

 

Improved quality of life but no improvement in THI or frequency matching? Plus headaches in the drug group? Sounds like a huge failure to me. Also, if the study was completed in 2013 and the results are just out now, you know that it was likely a failure. They were probably pressured to release the results after waiting so long.

 

Optimist

 

Realistic

 

Yep... you are probably right.

 

Hopeful...

 

If it works where is it?
