5. Consider deep brain stimulation
For the most severe and life interrupting of symptoms, and for those that don’t improve with medicine, a doctor may come to the eventual conclusion that it is worthwhile for them to recommend surgical treatment of some kind.
These surgical treatments, such as deep brain stimulation, usually involve attaching thin wires onto targeted and specific parts of the brain that are designed to control movement via the delivery of electronic pulses through the wires. Interestingly, this has been shown to lower the impact of symptoms by as much as 80%.
Following surgery like this, providing there are no serious complications, most people are able to reduce their need for medications, which is something that a lot of dyskinesia patients may have considered as something that was virtually impossible. Again, knowledge is power, and only by having a wide understanding of the options available to sufferers of dyskinesia, is anyone in a good position to work out which way is best for them to attack it head-on.
