Results are forthcoming and will be available as soon as they are peer-reviewed and published. I will let everyone know when this happens

The study is still ongoing and the initial results are very encouraging. We have expanded the study with additional study sites outside the original single study center. Interim analysis of the long-term results in a multi-center setting is in progress.

I recently read about Dr. Dimitrakov's work using memantine for CPPS. The posts on the forum only list information from 2009/2010. Is there any followup information about the use of memantine for CPPS? Specially for me, I have neuropathic pain in my pelvis. Will this help?

The last email address I had for Jordan was [email protected] but I suspect he no longer works there.

I think he now works at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, 330 Brookline Ave,Boston, MA 02215, 617-667-2051.

Try to contact him. Ask the receptionist for his email address. Say you have a question about his research papers.
