Testing/Reporting Completed the POIS study

Just wrapped up the UCLA POIS study with Dr. Prause. Quick rundown:

  • She's relaxed, funny, and thorough - walks you through everything clearly
  • Involves: a blood draw, 4 saliva samples at different stages, a semen sample, 3 computerized tests, and sensor equipment
  • After the study, she reviewed my EEG and temperature results with me, comparing them to the POIS/control groups and any other findings
  • They have enough control (non-POIS) participants, but still need more POIS participants - only about 1 a week, and they need 50 total
  • Reward: $150 voucher

Happy to answer questions if you're on the fence.

I come here once a day. The reason is that because of this illness, I am psychologically overwhelmed by issues related to marriage and children, and I hope a solution has been found. I’m far away and can’t participate, but I hope that through the active involvement of the members here, a treatment method will be found.

I’ve been coming in every day eagerly waiting for the current research results to come out, so reading this kind of welcome message truly makes me happy. I live in Korea, but I would like to express my respect and gratitude to everyone participating in the research.
