Guest guest Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 Notice that Dr. Cummings' paper on Botox (paper number 251) basically says that it does jack shit (pardon my language). I feel like writing to him and telling him thank you and I wouldn't mind having a full copy of his paper. jennyandkelly wrote: There were a lot of presentations on clubfoot at the AAOS meeting in Chicago this week.

I kinda wonder if perhaps those words weren't muttered by the researchers at least once behind closed doors... kinda makes you wonder though... what does it take to get a parent to sign their child up for research that may or may not include botox or placebo to lengthen the Achilles and complete the CF correction? hummmm...

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 I was wondering that, too. With a randomized double blind study, you'd potentially be delaying the treatment of your child. Alvarez's study is neither blind nor random and we were just asked to be a part of it. Sure, why not? Now there was a decision that bit us in the butt. I'm still trying to find an email address for the presenting doctor, but I may have to snail mail him. I'll let you know if I have any success! frogabog wrote: and when you get it, you can snail mail her a copy (or 10 for emphasis) and a picture of your son's beautifully corrected feet with a big PHHHUUUUUTTTTTTTT!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 , I don't think their findings are published yet but I usually have access to full text articles through the University here. I can probably get you a copy once it is published.
