Parkinson’s disease is the most common movement disorder, affecting nearly one million Americans. Symptoms such as tremors, muscle rigidity, and difficulty with movement and balance often worsen over time and can significantly compromise a person’s everyday activities.
Medication can help manage symptoms, but treatment benefits often diminish or become less consistent over time. Patients report alternating states between “ON time,” when the medication is working well, and “OFF time,” when it no longer provides symptom benefit and movement-related symptoms return.
These on-again, off-again changes are disruptive and unpredictable – but a new treatment may help.
The FDA recently approved a treatment that offers a new approach to treating these motor fluctuations – without the need to resort to invasive surgery.
On Wednesday, April 23rd, during Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Month, we are pleased to offer the opportunity to hear from expert Dr. Stuart Isaacson, Director of the Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders Center. He can discuss the current treatment landscape, the importance of managing OFF episodes and the potential impact of this new treatment.
