How many participants have been enrolled in this medical research?

"Affirmative. Clinicaltrial.gov confirms that this medical trial, which was first listed on February 1st 2022, is actively seeking participants. 40 individuals need to be enrolled from a single location."

Answered by AI

Is there availability for patients to join this research endeavor?

"Affirmative, an analysis of clinicaltrials.gov unveils that this trial is actively enrolling participants. It was initially launched on February 1st 2022 and its last update occurred on August 11th 2022; the study necessitates 40 individuals to be recruited from one location."

Answered by AI

What is the prime purpose for executing this research study?

"The primary aim of this trial, evaluated over a 9-10 week period, is to measure changes in the Stroop Effect Test from baseline. Secondary goals include measuring alterations in Global Rating of Change Questionnaire (15 point scale), Numeric Pain Rating Scale (11 point scale) and Neurotrophic Growth Factors (serum concentration of brain derived neurotrophic factor & insulin-like growth factor 1)."
