inappropriate that claims continue to be made indicating clinical "success"
with therapeutic procedures, for which efficacy studies continue to be
unavailable.  It is therefore only appropriate that ASHA carefully
reconsider their willingness to provide CEU's for workshops and courses that
promote the training of unproven therapeutic procedures, especially those as
invasive as DPNS, especially while at the same time calling for "evidence
based therapy."
