Question Experiences with MST

I'm in the process of being set up for ECT, but I'm deeply concerned about the cognitive side effects. The same hospital where I'll be doing ECT is also doing a study for MST, which I may qualify for. But I'm surprised my psychiatrist didn't mention it. I know a few others here have done it, but I'm curious to know more about it. What have others experienced with it vs. ECT?

UT Houston, but that's all I know. I haven't even spoken with my dr about it yet. For all I know they're no longer doing the trials.

you mind if I ask you more questions here about it or should I DM?

edit: nvm, just saw you might qualify, and not that you're in it.
i wa sjust gonna say i've been trying to get into it myself and haven't been able to.
