Your DBS for PD questions, answered
Did you miss our autumn Parkinson's symposium on October 11th? The event (hosted by the Udall Center of Excellence in Parkinson's Disease Research, and supported by the MnDRIVE DBS Core) featured several speakers, including a Q&A session about deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease. If you are wondering about the same things, we've put together answers to some of the audience questions, and added a few more FAQs. So if you've ever wondered:
The holiday season can be a great time to catch up with loved ones, relax and slow down, or simply eat lots of delicious food. It can also come with extra challenges, such as shorter days, packed travel schedules, and disrupted routines. This blog post from parkison.org outlines recommendations to successfully navigate the most common hurdles that people with Parkinson's encounter during this time of year. Share it with friends or consider using it as a conversation starter with family. We hope you make the most of this holiday season, however you choose to celebrate. Happy holidays to you and yours, from all of us at the University of Minnesota!
