Summary

The investigator(neurologist) has published a study in International Congress Series, in the 15th International Conference of Biomagnetism Vancouver Proceedings 2006,and Science Direct website, of 15 patients with brain ischemia and dilated ventricles who improve when treated with transcranial monitoring or low ultrasound wave intensity (milliwatts) and with rapid magnetic stimulation which is also a diagnostic tool routinely used by many neurophysiologists. Before, these patients will progress and may need a brain shunt called Ventriculo-peritoneal shunt. He and collaborators now would like to do a double study as this appears to be a cheap and effective alternative treatment and help patients to walk again.
