our studies are designed to be painful or uncomfortable. In fact, many people who participate find the experience to be interesting and educational. We offer a stipend and free parking for participation in many of our studies. Studies are primarily conducted at our Boston, Massachusetts, location<\/a>, though some aspects of our studies may be done in the home or online, and others require traveling to a different site, in the Boston area.<\/p>\nIf you believe you suffer from one of these disorders<\/h3>\n
