Imagine having your muscles progressive stiffen, then become rigid and spasm which leads to impaired movement. This is a very rare condition that affects one in a million people. This condition is known as Stiff Person Syndrome.

In this episode, we will go over the three different types: the classic, partial stiff person syndrome and paraneoplastic form. We will explain the different types of each, which labs to run and the therapies that might help your patient.

Join Dr. Niket Sonpal as he helps explain this very rare condition.
