Medtronic DBS device
I’m uneasy with this one because the vote almost split into half. They should do more research on this before applying it to the general public. The complications are worse so I wouldn’t try this myself because my illness may get worse than getting treatment from it.
I agree with Will. They should study more about the effects of this medication before applying it to people with epilepsy. It might cure the epilepsy but the side effects might become another problem.
Are similar studies going on elsewhere in the world? I have never thought about this much to try myself but it is a little interesting. The write up I found was here but I am not sure how to link?
