Are medications adequately controlling your Parkinson’s symptoms?
Join PAC for our November’s Wellness Wednesday Webinar. Brian Lawton will present an educational webinar that will provide a comprehensive overview of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) therapy for Parkinson’s disease. Topics will include candidate selection, the surgical process, modern rechargeable and non rechargeable battery options, and how Abbott’s Virtual Clinic technologies can support care from the comfort of home. Join us to gain a better understanding of this established treatment option and the innovations helping improve patient care.
DBS therapy has been proven over the past 15 years to be an effective treatment option for symptoms of Parkinson’s disease that are not adequately controlled by medications. The latest advancements to DBS offer innovation in the way therapy is delivered and how it is controlled.
