Deep Brain Stimulation for dyskinesia and motor fluctuations
This webinar explores Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) in Parkinson’s, focusing on motor fluctuations, dyskinesia, patient selection, timing and gender disparities.
The event is designed to give attendees a balanced view of DBS by combining clinical knowledge with first-hand experience, while creating opportunities for discussion and questions throughout. It aims to improve understanding of DBS and factors that may influence treatment decisions for people with Parkinson’s.
This webinar is mainly aimed at people with Parkinson's but health and care professionals are welcome to attend. This could be an opportunity for non-DBS professionals to learn more about the treatment and its impact on Parkinson's symptoms.
Speakers include:
-
Professor Antonella Macerollo, Consultant Neurologist at The Walton Centre, Associate Professor at the University of Liverpool and Regional Clinical Lead for the North West Parkinson’s Excellence Network, speaking on: ‘Beyond the On–Off Cycle: DBS for Motor Fluctuations and Dyskinesia’.
-
Jo Tosh, a retired nurse and principal lecturer who lives with Parkinson's and has had DBS surgery.
-
