A member asked:
Can progressive supranuclear palsy be cured if we block the excessive impulses of the brain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good thots, but: At this time, there is NO cure for progressive supra nuclear palsy (AKA, Steele, Richardson, Olezewski Syndrome). It seems a variant of Parkinson's but does not respond to the usual Parkinson's meds. Much ongoing research may provide breakthroughs, and if you have it or know someone who does, find a nearby Movement Disorder Specialist who has research.
