I had it done at the Mindcare Centre and it didn't help me. But I'm extremely treatment resistant. It apparently does help many people. The one thing to consider, if you're going to have it done in a study, is that most people need to have the treatments repeated, even if they work the effects wear off. So you need to consider whether you can afford to go for repeat treatments to the Mindcare Centre, or to one of the doctors in the U.S. who have figured out a way to give it privately even though it's not yet FDA approved. If you can afford that, I'd say go for it. At least you'll know from the study whether it works for you. Incidentally, the idea of a "sham" treatment in a study is a sham. If you find it as painful as I did, you'll know you're not getting the "sham"!!!!! But again, everyone is different, some people say it doesn't hurt at all. Cecilia
