Title: My Nero sent me.....
Post by superhawk2300 on Aug 16^th, 2006, 7:02pm

An article about an implant that stimulates the hypothalumous to stop CHs.

The results look ed very good in a blind placebo test.

Anyone else hear of this?

The Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery. It's been discussed here many times. It's not a perfected technique. The Italians are claiming some success, but the Americans ( Dr. Black @ the Mayo Clinic ) have had disappointing results. It's an invasive procedure that should be tried as a last resort.

Do a search here about Deep Brain Stimulation ( or DBS )

There's much more to try first ... IMO
