      We are actually trying this now! For now it is really just a palliative measure, which means that it isn’t quite a cure but can greatly improve a patient’s quality of life. Recent results from several groups are very promising for this, and it’s really just a case of making sure the technique is as safe as possible and is well researched so it can be used by other hospitals
