"The FDA has not specifically approved deep brain stimulation of the thalamus to treat multiple sclerosis. However, this does not mean that the treatment is experimental or that it would not be covered by insurance. There are many examples of treatments that are used every day but have not been approved by the FDA for a specific medical condition."

I'm wondering if DBS can help with gait or drop foot? I'm going to ask my Neurologist about it when I see him in July.
