Yes - I am interested in more details.  What would this study entail?  Do you need people that live in the NY area?  Any further details would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

I had EDAS 12/29/03 and 1/5/04 with Dr. Scott in Boston.

Thanks to everyone for their interest!

You must be able to come to CU in New York City for assessments.

Study participants must be adults.

STA-MCA patients ARE eligible for the study.

Thanks again for everyone's enthusiasm.  Just one more point of clarification:

In order to be eligible to participate in the study, we are looking for people who have not already undergone bilateral EDAS.  We are looking for people who are pre-surgery on at least one side.

On a side note, we are very appreciative at how many people have taken the time to call and inquire about participating in the study.

Thanks again!

Just an update for all of the folks who have helped out with the study.  We have enrolled a significant amount of people and are now expanding our search out of New York City.  We are searching for more people in the TriState area - New york State, New Jersey, and Connecticut, and Pennsylvania who are willing to come in for a 3 hour exam. Unfortunately, we can't pay anyone to participate, but you do get a copy of your Doppler Exam free of charge.

Thanks again to everyone who has signed up.
