It doesn`t matter whether you`re left handed for the regular treatment-only for experiments (clinical trials) where they want to control as many variables as possible. I`m right handed but I don`t think they even asked about that, only stuff like whether you have any metal in your head! Clinical trials are very rigid in their requirements, in my case the university in my city refused to let me in their trial because there was no time period in the last 5 years when I hadn`t been depressed. Truthfully, there`s no time period in my whole life when I can say I wasn`t depressed. There`s "more depressed" and "less depressed" but the concept of "not depressed" is something I can`t even comprehend. Clinical trials don`t want people like that-they want good results. Cecilia
