[graeme]

Very interesting how long are these studies over

[webslave]

These are not published studies and some may never be published.

[popburner]

I'm very excited to hear about some of these - particularly the cialis and acupuncture discussions!

[J Dimitrakov]

Here's another one which I am very interested to hear and see:

CNS Findings in Anticholinergic Treated Patients with Overactive Bladder Using fMRI for Functional Brain Imaging

Steve Lebovitch*, Bett Lebed, Shweta Moonat, Scott H. Faro, Feroze Mohamed, Michael R. Ruggieri, Sr, Michel A. Pontari, Philadelphia, PA

Topic: Non-Neurogenic Voiding Dysfunction
Presentation Number: 1288

I'm very excited to hear about some of these - particularly the cialis and acupuncture discussions!

Yes, I've long suspected that the CNS is involved in some way in the more intractable genitourinary tract problems.

[J Dimitrakov]

The exciting this is that this technology - fMRI - provides a quantitative measure of the processes involved. The "CPPS signature" is quite specific
