I am worried about my father who is suffering from Parkinson’s disease since five years – his symptoms are getting much worse. Might it be the case that his medication is not working well? Do you know if there are any chances of recovery in general?<\/p>\n
Yours,

Depending on the stage of Parkinson\u2019s disease there are quite often still some therapeutic options available to improve the patient\u2019s medical and \u201cdaily life\u201d condition.<\/p>\n
In some cases, e.g.\u00a0 a change of the current medication and support by regular physiotherapy can stabilize the patient\u2019s state. Besides modern medication and physiocare the patient and his family can get further support by a local support group dealing with Parkinson\u2019s disease.
\nTherefore, the patient should be treated at a neurological centre with special experience in the longterm treatment and management of Parkinson’s disease.<\/p>\n
