1. What we are looking for:
A limited number of horses with a ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐

๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, made with an investigation which included computed tomography (CT) of the head. They should not have had EquiPENS(TM) neuromodulationor electroacupuncture treatment prior. Horses should be showing clinical signs of headshaking during the study period - end of April to September. They will need to wear an accelerometer (like a fitbit) on a safety headcollar (which we will provide) for 7 days prior to the day of treatment, which is Thursday 12th May, and 7 days after treatment. During these 14 days they should be lunged, as part of their normal exercise, wearing the accelerometer at approximately the same time and in the same location, each day. We have ethical approval for this study.
2. What we will provide:
The treatment, and a day stable, on the 12th Mayis free of charge. We do not cover transport costs or loss of earnings. We do not expect any complications from this non-invasive treatment. However, there is a risk to any procedure and to transporting horses and we do not have funding to cover costs of any complications.
3. How to apply:
Please email us at [email protected], confirming your interest in taking part subject to the above conditions, your contact details, your own vetโs contact details and a referral report from headshaking investigation if this was not carried out by the B&W Equine Hospital. We will select the most appropriate cases and contact you and your vet with more information, an information sheet and a consent form.
We would like to thank the Langford Trust for Animal Health and Welfare for funding this study.
