MDS 2021 | Non-invasive stimulation to treat Parkinson’s disease: ongoing research

Rubens Gisbert Cury, MD, University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil gives an overview of non-invasive stimulation as a treatment for Parkinson’s disease (PD). There are a number of questions that remain unanswered surrounding this treatment. These includes its effects on the brain in the weeks post-treatment, and how it may fit with other existing treatments for PD to produce the best outcome for patients, who can display a broad range of symptoms. Dr Cury discusses these questions, and others, highlighting the importance of continuing research into this therapy. This interview took place during the 2021 International Congress of Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders.
