| | People with Shy-Drager syndrome should establish advance directives, indicating what kind of medical care they want at the end of life (see Legal and Ethical Issues: Advance Directives). | | | Generally, drugs used to treat Parkinson's disease are not effective in treating Shy-Drager syndrome, but response to them varies from person to person. | | | Shy-Drager syndrome is thought to be a form of multiple systems atrophy—a group of overlapping disorders that cause many symptoms and simultaneously affect several body systems. |
