Hi Tim,

We've read before that DBS was not recommended for MSA patients. I'd

suggest though that it would be worthwhile to ask this question of Dr.

Lieberman on the Ask the Doctor forum and see what his opinion is.

This page explains how it works for Parkinson's Disease

My understanding is that different structures are affected in MSA and

therefore it's unlikely to be helped by this procedure.

Take care,

Pam
