Will an MRI help?
I have constant worry that I have a brain tumor and many symptoms that revolve around this. Have any others with health anxiety received MRI's did it help? Did it make it worse? Thanks

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) can improve motor symptoms in moderate to advanced PD. However, the optimal stimulation paradigm for non‐motor symptoms, freezing of gait and the optimal timing of DBS are still under investigations. The findings of pathological oscillations and abnormal frequency to amplitude

DBS for essential tremors?
I'm new to this site and am considering DBS. Has anyone had DBS (deep brain surgery) for essential tremors of hands, head (cervical dystonia) and voice? What result? My neurologists say it will help with my shaky head. I know DBS helps shaky hands, it's my shaky head that is annoying!

Losing hope
Dx 2003 aged 46. until about 6 months ago i refused to be beaten. Now I am utterly beaten. For years I’ve taken madopar every 90 mins . I have always had sudden swings between off and on but was able to make them bearable – with the odd blip - with extra madopar. I worked out years ago that protein interferes

Anxious I have a brain tumour
I'm 19, and I'm so anxious I have a brain tumour. About five months ago, I saw bright lights all over my room for a couple of seconds and it was gone. A few days later, I developed an odd feeling in my head - like a tingling, slight pressure in my head, all over my scalp and ears. It's so bad it feels

Dystonia and Parkinson's disease: What is the relationship?
Dystonia and Parkinson's disease are closely linked disorders sharing many pathophysiological overlaps. Dystonia can be seen in 30% or more of the patients suffering with PD and sometimes can precede the overt parkinsonism. The response of early dystonia to the introduction of dopamine replacement therapy

Another FUS news. Now from Isreal . Looks like it's replacing DBS
The firm obtained US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for its technology in 2016, based on a clinical study of 76 patients, which demonstrated that the treatment is effective and safe.
