The Latest Advancements in Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Oct 24, 2021

Show notes

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a highly effective and reasonably safe treatment for Parkinson's; however, it's also frequently misunderstood. The success stories about how people are sometimes living symptom and medication-free as a result of getting DBS understandably lead many to want to get the treatment as soon as possible. Others think it sounds scary and shy away from it. During this webinar, Dr. Joohi Jimenez-Shahed broke down the what, why, and how of DBS and its latest advancements.

Cultural Context and Parkinson's Oct 08, 2021

Show notes

There is ample evidence that shows that including exercise, good nutrition, socialization, and more can help people with Parkinson's manage their symptoms, improve mood, and live well for many years. Yet exercise, eating, and social habits look vastly different for different people, and without addressing this cultural context, accessibility barriers can keep people from integrating these practices to improve their quality of life.

In this episode

Dr. Indu Subramanian and Dr. Greg Pontone dig into what it means to apply a cultural context and how the Parkinson's sector can implement changes to support more people in their pursuit of living well.

Dementia and Later-Onset Parkinson's Aug 23, 2021

Show notes

Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD) is a term used for dementia that develops after several or many years of living with Parkinson's. In nearly all cases of Parkinson's, people experience motor symptoms in the early stages; some may also have mild changes in cognition at diagnosis. Over time, though, non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's may get so problematic that they are much more debilitating than motor symptoms ever are. Not all people with Parkinson's will develop dementia, but for those who do, it can be a very difficult symptom to live with.

In this episode, Dr. Rodolfo Savica from the Mayo Clinic shares his expertise from over two decades of experience working with people with dementia.
