  • Summary

  • There's no cure for Parkinson's disease, but there are ways to manage it and treat symptoms. In this episode, we explore how different types of medications can help, and the importance of clinical trials in progressing treatment options. We hear from people who are living with Parkinson’s disease about their medication journeys. We also discuss an alternative surgical treatment that is available: deep brain stimulation.
