Stiff Person Syndrome: An Overview
“The journey of individuals like Celine Dion brings vital attention to Stiff Person Syndrome, a rare and often misunderstood neurological disorder. By highlighting not only the epidemiology, neurological basis, treatment, and current research in SPS treatment, but also Celine Dion’s diagnosis and the media coverage surrounding it, the need for increased awareness and dedicated research becomes evident. Enhancing public knowledge and scientific understanding of SPS is crucial for improving the lives of those affected and for fostering advancements in treatment options.”
