Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Hyperphagia in PWS

Dr. Merlin Butler and colleagues at Kansas University Medical Center will be working with Dr. Fregni (Harvard University) and Dr. Weisensel (Prader-Willi Homes of Oconomowoc) to evaluate the effects of a weak, noninvasive form of brain stimulation on food cravings and overeating in adults with Prader-Willi syndrome.  More background information about the study is available here, and more details about the clinical trial, including contact information, is available here.
