If this device works in a certain percentage of users, what is the problem? Pain sufferers have further options i.e. opiates As one who's been in this exact situation it seems very good that there is a partially workable option. If it causes other issues they can fall back to the other ( opiate ) treatments

Basic ethics? Seriously, think through the implications of allowing companies to sell medical treatment that don't mention the risks.

I would assume that in the US as with the UK with any implanted device/surgery the doctor/surgeon goes through the risks.

I have done this several times in the UK - oh and one of the most serious ones was 1/5000 chance of death :-)
