  6. Community Comments Common Comments & Questions “If it works, how long before it will be available?” “As long as patient safety and welfare is always the priority, I would support the study” “Hard to judge whether benefits outweigh the risks as all the information is not available. I suspect that this lack of knowledge is the reason for the study.” “That’s just progress. You have to have continuing study to have the best medications” “Without research such as this, there is no mechanism to move forward. It is the right thing to do.”

  7. Community Comments Common Concerns “How does the medication know where to target in the brain?” “Alarm bells are going off in me. Maybe it’s because of lack of understanding. But, if my boy is having a seizure, I don’t want someone messing around with saline solution.” “My daughter suffers from epilepsy. Although I delight in the idea of finding a cure, I am apprehensive of researching someone without their consent” “Are the medics well trained?” “How do you know if someone is allergic to one of these medicines?” “What about drug allergies or interaction with these study medications?”
