Hi,I have been suffering from Cervical Dystonia for 4 years receiving Botox injections and  Gabapentin for pain unfortunately my symptoms are getting worse.
I have been thinking about DBS procedure and wondered has anybody had this and what difference it made.

Hi @Garrett1 - & welcome to the community. Thank you for explaining about DBS, the pros & cons of which are likely best discussed with your specialists. However, there's a little info here: https://www.dystonia.org.uk/deep-brain-stimulation  & here: https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/deep-brain-stimulation/about/pac-20384562

Hi Gareth,
               i can't really help but my wife had DBS for epilepsy, it has only provided limited help in reducing her seizures , the procedure i guess will be simular for your condition
