Professor_Tanaka Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Impressive statistics, and it is already approved in Europe. Their site... http://www.ati-spg.com/us/en/therapy/ati-system/ Wonder how much is costs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hipshot Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 This makes more sense than most other therapies I have come across. How long does someone have to live in Europe to qualify for "free healthcare"? I'm packing my bags 8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brew Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Goadsby showed us this thing at the OUCH convention in Atlanta a few years back. Says the stimulator (about the size of a vitamin pill) is implanted on the affected side above and behind the molars, in a procedure that is much like a dental surgery. Then a wand is held up by the sufferer to the cheek bone from the outside to activate it. Looked pretty slick. Hope I never have to investigate its effectiveness.
