> Neal, are you sure that percentage success rate is not for the implants. I had talked to a researcher at NIHM last year concerning TMS trials and he said the trials were not very encouraging. If I am not mistaken (and I could be), the developer of TMS has moved on and is now working with the implant technique. (Can't recall what that technique is called--Cam??)
>Shelli,
I believe that is the Vagus Nerve Stimulator which is being used to control intractible seizures for people with epilepsy. If I am wrong-sorry. If I am right-I wonder if there has been anything published on it for depression??
