There is a new site for MT research commentary that will be referencing a lot of the IJTMB articles. It also aims to promote the MTF and research. I hope you guys will find it useful.

Comment by Robin Byler Thomas on November 15, 2009 at 9:10pm: Kool; you helped her on a lot of levels Laura. There was I study I read recently looking at the effects of MT versus individual attention from MT's alone, to compare differences and found benefits from both, with the most effects from MT, epecially with pain (Mitchinson, VA Study of Post Op Pain and Anxiety, 2007, Arch Surg.142(12):1158-1167).
I've also worked with a couple patients with Tourettes and found stress really exerbated their symptoms; the tighter their muscles the worse the Tourettes.
