Summary
This study tested a new type of deep brain stimulation (DBS) that adapts in real-time to a patient's needs, specifically for people with multiple system atrophy (MSA). Three participants received the adaptive DBS to see if it could improve quality of life, movement, sleep, and autonomic symptoms like blood pressure and bladder control. The goal was to make stimulation more personalized and responsive.
