Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question đź’­

My boyfriend recently had TIA or several small little strokes. He has PD and DBS, because of the DBS, he was not able to have a MRI to determine if he did have a stroke. What happens to a person w DBS in case a MRI is necessary?

yes, it is partially correct. I have just had a stroke and gone through all the investigations and measurements et cetera. If your boyfriend has a Medtronics DBS implantation, they can send a representative to monitor the MRI and adjust the settings to accommodate that.
My problem is that the stroke has upset the DBS settings for the left body so that tremors have returned and full force.
