Parkinson’s disease is a common neurological dysfunction disease, which is more common in the elderly, and the exact cause of the disease is currently uncommon. Regarding the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, there are mainly medication and surgery (brain pacemaker surgery, also known as DBS). Symptoms can be controlled by medication in the early stages of the disease, but in the middle and late stages, when the medication becomes less effective, it is necessary to undergo pacemaker surgery in order to better control the development of symptoms. Is it true that after surgery, there is no need for medication? The answer to this question is no. Brain pacemaker surgery and medication are complementary, not mutually exclusive. Surgery is not about not taking medication, and medication is not about not having surgery. Doctors say that surgery in conjunction with medication can enhance the efficacy of the medication, as well as slow the progression of the disease in Parkinson’s itself. In cases where relying on medication alone is no longer a solution to the disease, Parkinson’s patients may consider undergoing surgery. Another question that may be asked about Parkinson’s disease treatment is this: is Parkinson’s disease fatal? Is it life-threatening without treatment? Doctors explain that Parkinson’s disease itself is not a fatal disease and generally does not affect the patient’s life expectancy, but if the patient does not seek timely medical treatment or refuses to be treated, the disease can seriously affect the patient’s quality of life, making it impossible for the patient to take care of himself or herself. These elderly patients often die from serious complications, such as bone fracture, pneumonia and urinary tract infection. Deep brain electrical stimulation surgery is a very effective surgical treatment for Parkinson’s disease motor symptoms and motor complications. Compared with the past, surgical treatment of Parkinson’s disease has made a quantum leap in technicality and safety, and can reduce the dosage of medication, which in turn reduces the side effects produced by medication. For patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease, a combination of surgery and medication is preferable to medication alone.
