A Study

Post by SquirmingSusan »

The new Nightwalkers magazine had a couple interesting studies this month. Dr. Ondo in Houston has one on pitolosant as adjunct therapy for RLS. Pitolisant is a new narcolepsy drug, one that's super expensive and I haven't tried yet.

The other study is on apomorphine in the for of dissolvable strips that are used as necessary.

It's been about a year - I wonder how these studies have gone?

I looked up the apomorphine one and it says it isn't yet recruiting, but that cannot be, can it? Hmmmm.

I found a couple other ones that are interesting, though.

I did not read any of these to see how they were designed - the last one is looking at magnesium - that should be interesting if well designed.
