Best part is the only guy who did not have PD was on the verge of getting DBS.
Do you see what these case studies are saying? To qualify for DBS one needs to have proven response to levodopa, motor fluctuations, and dyskinesia. This means that a drug response/tolerance and dyskinesias occur in people without degenerative disease. Why is it again the scan is only used in atypical cases?
