"Recent clinical studies have shown that stimulation of the auditory cortex through transcranial magnetic stimulation or direct electrical stimulation has acute or longer-lasting suppressive effects, providing a new hope in finding an effective and reliable therapy."

Thanks for this article; it is encouraging to hear about any new developments. Here in Vancouver, the University of BC is doing some pilot on the transcranial magnetic stimulation. A bit freaky but just imagine if it works? *sigh* Thanks for the hope.

I hope on or more of these is the answer. I also hope they are proven to be safe. Having things implanted in the head and allowing transmissions to the brain is a touchy thing. Don't want to jump out of the pan into the fire, and find myself dealing with something more detrimental than this.
