In Denmark we have a surgery called : INTRA-THALAMISK EL-STIMULATION,with a permanent electrode and an el-stimulator implanted under the skin in the chest. I don`t know if is the same op. we are talking about? let me please know? One of my friends had this op. last year. Until now about 10 PWP have had this surgery, and maybe I`m also going to have it. The operation takes place at Aarhus University Hospital. If you want further information - please let me know. Best wishes from Sonia NEVER GIVE UP > > I look forward to learning from you as I don't have much to offer at this point.
