- Movement disorders neurologists Dr. Paarth Shah and Dr. Virgilio Gerald Evidente will be discussing in a panel discussion type of seminar the controversial issues regarding managing Parkinson’s at different stages.
The duo will discuss among others the following: (1) Should levodopa be started early or late in PD?; (2) Should elderly patients be put on dopamine agonists?; (3) How strong is the evidence for efficacy of supplements for PD?; (4) Are natural sources of levodopa better than synthetic levodopa pills?; (5) Can cannabis help PD symptoms and is it safe for PD?; (6) Should deep brain stimulation (DBS) be offered earlier in PD rather than later? If so, how early?
Great and very informative from two very well educated Dr.s. thank you! Very helpful
This is the best thing I’ve listened to in ages. More frank honest discussions please! And yes it is an art at this point. I hope someday I am not the canvas🙃
We appreciate your feedback
Wow!!! I really agree with you. shakinginmyboots1 -
I just had DBS done.- only negative experience yet- but still some hope- maybe some more programming?- hope just hope-
Unfortunately they’re not telling everything before surgery.
Honest and open discussions like this are very rare!
Mostly commercials from Boston -Abbot etc.-
😃😃 awesome event guys!
Thank you!

Yes, I've heard that premise - every PD patient is a trial, is an experiment with some amusement (for the specialist) thrown in.
Nice to be so entertaining, eh?
