Company news: Governments fund research into breakthrough migraine surgery

The breakthrough followed collaborative work on the involvement of extra-cranial arteries in migraine with Dr E.H. Spierings, Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School.

Dr Shevel's breakthrough procedure was first published in the British Journal ‘Therapy' in September 2006, see attached. The procedure is described as ‘minor' and is carried out in a day clinic. No long term side effects have been recorded. The results of the study showed that migraine sufferers undergoing the procedure enjoyed, on average, more than 100% improvement in their quality of life.

Italian Professor of Neuropsychiatry Carlo Cianchetti will represent the Italian Medical Community in his collaboration with Dr Shevel. Dr Shevel is due in Italy in June.
