A Shot To Cure Ptsd?

Rate this question

Question

Found this article on PTSD treatment on Fox News. From what I understand the treatment is not new, just the intended result. "The cost of the injection is approximately $1,000 and is fully covered by [Dr. Lipov's] non-profit Chicago Medical Innovations."

Dr. Eugene Lipov, medical director of Advanced Pain Centers in Chicago, said the procedure works in 70 percent of patients, and they show at least 50 percent improvement in symptoms. However, note that the study size is very small.

This article talks about the existing use of the same treatment for other conditions such as pain from cancer and other syndromes.

Personally I'm very interested, but I'll wait a while to see how things go before I get a shot--or six--in my neck.

A coworker sent that article to me, saying a shot could cure PTSD. I told her that shots had caused my PTSD: shots from rifles, shots from tanks, shots from artillery...
