IC Disease

There is a new research study being done that is looking for patients who suffer from CFS, Fibromyalgia, IC Disease or chronic pain to participate.  The study will be an Internet survey that will take a year to complete at different follow-up intervals.  The purpose of the survey is to study the effectiveness of alternative medicine and the interactions among stress and coping, pain, and treatment outcomes.

The survey, PROCAIM (Patient-Reported Outcomes from Complementary, Alternative, and Integrative Medicine), was developed under a grant to UCLA researchers from the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine.  If you would like to enroll in the survey, follow these instructions:

• Go to the PROCAIM website at http://www.procaim.org.
• Register on the site as a new user.
• Select clinic name: Craigslist. 
• Read and sign the Consent Form.
• Once you enter your email address to sign the consent form, you will be able to start answering a series of questions.  You will then be sent email reminders at the time of each scheduled follow-up for one year.

 If you would like more information, you can contact Deborah Ackerman, Ph.D. at Deborah.Ackerman@ucla.edu.
