Myoclonus

I heard that there is some type of brain stimulation that is successful in preventing seizures without medication.  Is there any procedure that works for myoclonus besides medication?

Of course yes but first tell me about the degree and the location and give me please more information about your myoclonus.

But please note that not all patients can benefit from stimulators, and not all patient could fully leave their medications so many have a partial benefit so they can decrease the medications quantity.

thank you for using Medhelp
