In the past, the prognosis for patients with this disease had been very poor; with many patients suffering from severe disability or death. Now, patients are responding remarkably well to current treatments and the majority of patients go into spontaneous remission. For those that do not go into remission, the symptoms of<unk>  can generally be very well controlled with medication. Due to the rarity of this disorder, scientists know very little about the details of<unk> . * There appears to be a discrepancy between this disorder in humans and animals that has yet to be explained. *<unk>  can also be induced by damage to other areas of the basal ganglia besides the subthalamic nucleus. Research is being done in these areas in order to give scientists and clinicians a better model for this disease that will ultimately lead to better diagnosis and treatment of this disorder. * Research is also being done on why certain treatments seem to help hemiballistic patients when they should seemingly do more harm. An example of this is why lesioning the globus pallidus seems to reduce hemiballistic movements. * The mechanism behind the effect of dopamine on patients' symptoms remains unknown.
