Edit
Could you please tell me what BFM rating is. Success
would be enough improvement in symptoms so that a
person didn't need assistance in the basic skills of
daily living dressing,walking,eating, pain relief
would be a bonus.
The question came up as friends are on wait list for
the same surgeon, both are having DBS one for Parkinsons
the other for Dystonia. Basically they want to know
which of them will see results sooner and will the
results be permanent. Know that with dystonia the
results fluctuate but have no idea if it is the same
for Parkinsons. WR
