Advances in the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease

 

Program Description

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a cruel twist of nature. Patients with PD often struggle with periods of dyskinesia – uncontrollable erratic movements –– and akinesia – a frightening state of near total paralysis. Although the origins of PD in the brain are now known, a cure has yet to be discovered. Nevertheless, treatment advances in PD have alleviated the relentless debilitation experienced by many patients. This video program, presented by four experts in movement disorders, offers a concise update that includes practical information to help improve the quality-of-life for your patients.
