Candid Conversations: Advanced Therapies for Parkinson’s
Over time, as Parkinson’s disease progresses, symptoms become more complex and have a greater impact in one’s daily life. In addition to possible cognitive changes, medications to manage motor symptoms are no longer adequately effective and their side effects may outweigh the benefits. Controlling movement becomes more challenging, and assistance is needed with daily activities such as dressing, personal hygiene and at mealtime. Current therapies for advanced Parkinson’s include Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), the Duodopa gel infusion pump, and VYALEV subcutaneous infusion therapy. Also, studies are currently being conducted on Focused Ultrasound (FUS). We invite you to join our webinar on Wednesday, December 11 from 2:00 to 3:15 PM Eastern Time as we discuss these four therapies, and hear from individuals living with Parkinson’s who have accessed these therapies: honest and unfiltered conversations about their decisions to access the therapies, the screening processes, what their surgeries and/or daily procedures are like, and what impacts – both positive and negative – they’ve noticed since then.
