So no, there's nothing that will ever improve corticobasal syndrome.

It's not a treatable condition.

It's certainly not curable or reversible in any way, shape or form.

No, it is dangerous to, with a condition which is as severe as this, promote an idea that strenuous exercise could reverse or cure it on two grounds really.

One, because it won't and if anything it'll be detrimental to the patient's health to attempt to do so and they will suffer from it.

But secondly as well, it will

it will have a huge psychological impact upon them.

And it can make a patient feel that they have, in some way, that they are responsible for their condition.

And for its worsening, it's because they have not done enough.

And that would be wrong, because it is no fault of the patient whatsoever.

Oh, absolutely.

I mean, if I had somebody with corticobasal syndrome and I thought from something I'd done or the patient had done that I'd effectively changed its progression or reversed it, I'd be very excited.

I mean, I want to publish it.

And more than that, it would be quite important to publish it.

No, I've not.

I've not seen anything published.

If that had been published, I'm pretty sure I would have seen it, yeah.
