Hype or help in Parkinson’s therapy – a lecture by Prof. Dr. Ceballos-Baumann

August 16, 2024/1 comment/in To know better, info event, Guides, Video/from Jürgen

In this video, Prof. Ceballos-Baumann sheds light on modern approaches to treating Parkinson's disease - what is really helpful and what are just exaggerated trends?
He takes a critical look at various alternative and experimental therapies such as acupuncture, the use of cannabis and advanced techniques such as cell transplantation.

We discuss which of these methods are supported by scientific studies and which are more in the realm of hope and hype. The aim is to provide a clear overview of the opportunities and limitations of these therapy options.

The Parkinson School offers comprehensive support and information for people with Parkinson's and their families. As one of the original main goals of the Parkinson Verbund eV, the Parkinson Journal has taken on the task of realizing this.

The result is a unique series of lectures that covers the entire spectrum of topics related to our disease. The series of lectures aims to educate participants about Parkinson's disease and to deepen their knowledge. In online lectures lasting around one hour, all essential aspects of the disease are covered in order to enable those affected to meet their therapists and neurologists on an equal footing and to deal with the disease more confidently.

The lecture will focus on new approaches to on-demand medication for Parkinson's patients who are suffering from a decline in the effect of levodopa. These so-called off phases occur when the effect of levodopa wears off before the next regular dose can be taken. Those affected not only experience a deterioration in mobility, but also effects on mood, discomfort, pain perception and circulation.

So what does the day look like for someone with Parkinson’s in the later stages of the disease?
