Patients suffering from MSA often suffer from orthostatichypotension that can be debilitating, urinary retention requiring catheterization, and various breathing problems.[touchneurology.com]
Orthostatichypotension can be improved by prescribing drugs that raise blood pressure. As MSA progresses, the benefits of medication lessen.[aans.org]

It sends electrical impulses into the brain to help control tremors and twitching movements. Some people may need surgery to manage Parkinson disease symptoms. Surgery may involve destroying small areas of brain tissue responsible for the symptoms.[hopkinsmedicine.org]
Electrical impulses are sent through an extension to stimulate the targeted cerebral regions that control abnormal nerve impulses. These impulses effectively reduce tremors and motor-related symptoms.[soc.ucsb.edu]
The neurostimulator sends electrical impulses along the wire to the thalamus, interrupting signals that cause tremor.[aans.org]

PD is characterized by a wide spectrum of progressive motor features including bradykinesia (reduced motor activity), restingtremor, skeletal muscle rigidity, and, later in the course of the disorder, postural instability.[invitae.com]
