Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 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. http://www.parkinson.org/drindex.htm This page explains how it works for Parkinson's Disease http://www.parkinson.org/dbs.htm My understanding is that different structures are affected in MSA and therefore it's unlikely to be helped by this procedure. Take care, Pam > Does anyone have information about the use of DBS for MSA. My friend > Deb had it done recently and was interested in it's use and whether > it affected any of the autonomic dysfunctions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
