There are a few here that have undergone the procedure. In the short term
it seems to be great. For the long term, the output of the device will have
to be turned up to achieve therapeutic effect and eventually the probe will
have to be repositioned in the pallid or thalamus because the area
stimulated becomes immune to the stimulation and observed side effects
become more noticible.
