Seven out of 28 = 25% = not much.

If you can read German, here's some more information:

I do read german. Will do so tonight. But is it really like attacking the attack at the moment? Or, like ons, a preventative?


Thanks for the information.

The trial was originally planned for acute attack treatment only but they also found that 10 of the patients had a ≥50% reduction in attack frequency.

Yes. That is what i understood. It could work together with the ons implant i have. But in the end you walk around with a lot of electronics. I m not sure i want that.
