/0 comments/in To know better, info event, Guides, Video/by JürgenIn 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.
