New device-assisted therapy for Parkinson’s disease

  As medicine has evolved, device-assisted therapies have played an increasing role in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.  Device assisted therapies indicated for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease include: Subcutaneous apomorphine pumps Transjejunal infusion of levodopa gel Deep brain electrical stimulation techniques These methods are mainly indicated for progressive Parkinson’s disease.

Even if the time of onset is less than 4 years, but the degree of disease is severe, the levodopa preparation is taken more than 4 times a day, the time off period is more than 1 hour a day, or there are still aberrations after taking amantadine, you should consider adjusting the treatment strategy and choosing a device to assist in the efficacy of the treatment.
