My mother had a pallidotomy back in May because of her severe rigidity. It was a unilateral pallidotomy so it only alleviated one side of her body. She will have another unilateral within two months to alleviate her other side. It has helped her.

Has anyone heard anything more about this? Are they doing trials somewhere? Thanks. Debbie White [log in to unmask]
