Authors' recommendations:
The technology has been proposed for nearly 20 years. Nevertheless, the quality and quantity of evidence produced by the low number of studies conducted so far do not allow to draw concluding remarks on the clinical efficacy and safety of the technology. Its indication of use is for second-line treatment following the failure of previous therapies and additional studies, independent and of good methodological quality, are desirable to provide conclusive data on clinical efficacy. The high cost of the technology makes these studies impractical at present.
