parkinson patients denied treatment. The BBC NEWS states tha DBS is a relativity new treatment. But as you read on the article says that in Grenoble , France they have been doing this procedure for 15 years. I feel this is plenty of time to prrove the increase in ones quality of life. We are left to suffer All I know is that two people in my support group could sure use a DBS, but yet they suffer, year after year. It breaks my heart.
