What is the success rate of Dr Hugues Brat's treatment and is still adopted for primary HH (palm/feet). What is the side effect and is it reversable. Other than his own team, whether doctors in the other parts of the world are trained to treat the affected ones.

In alternative therapy, particulary in acupuncture, what is the success rate and is it worth trying.

I am very anxious. Pl advise.

I am not sure of the success rate, but I think you should be careful as it is a relatively new procedure and still kills the nerves permanently.

Hi Thanks. Not sure if there are known side effects and if anyone has ever tried the new procedure. God help the HH people.
