Описание к видео Controversies in the Use of Medications, Herbs, and Early DBS for Parkinson's

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?
