Interesting study. The next clinical trial at John's Hopkins will only have 15 patients.
Question. Is this something that prevents further deterioration? Therefore, the earlier one is tested and get the brain stimulation, the better.

This is a very interesting report. I'd like to know over what time period this patient has been treated and what stage he was before the deep brain stimulation treatment began.
It will be nice to see how he does over the coming years.
I'm very eager to learn of other deep brain stimulation trials.
Thanks for posting, Myriam.

That's what it says, that the stimulation puts a stop to the progression.

Iris, judging only by the video clip, he was in early stage.
