Brain Stimulation Treatments?

[LARWLSN]

Hello, I'm totally new to this forum, so grateful for the resource. Just wondering if anybody has had any experience or knowledge regarding Electrical, Magnetic or Ultrasound brain stimulation treatments for PSP ... it seems pretty experimental, and not specific for PSP, so I expect this post will be just a shot in the dark, but I figured it didn't hurt to put it out there. Thank you!

I'm not aware of those procedures being used for PSP. DBS - deep brain stimulation used for Parkinson's has been trialed on some PSP patients with no positive results.

I believe it was being trialed by Dr. Apetauerova at the Lahey clinic in Boston 5 years ago or so. If there had been positive results I think we would have known.

Hi, all I have found is two clinical trial studies ongoing at the moment ( it says the studies are completed but can't find any results yet). The first one is using Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation and the second using Electrical polarization

I'm assuming neither showed any positive results otherwise we would have heard?
