Anders? Any other neurologist in the house? How realistic is this?
My mother is suffering from Parkinsons disease (diagnosed in '84) and 8
weeks ago she had a pallidotomy, a surgical procedure were a number of
disfunctional braincells are killed to keep some of the wordt symptoms at
bay (trembling, swaying with arms and legs, variations in body
temperature). Thing are a *lot* better now but it's no cure, we're just
fighting symptoms.
I've heard of this treatement before but as I understood it didn't look too
good then, long term project. What's the chance that this leads to
practical application within 7-10 years?
Any info greatly appreciated (by the whole family).
greetings,
Arjen The Humble
