Thanks for the presentation. I was diagnosed with a mild case of parkinson disease a few months ago. I am taking Pramipexole, what do you know about this medication? I heard there is a treatment called deep brain stimulation. Can you tell me if this is recommended? Thanks.

We perform DBS surgery at the Fixel Institute. The decision for surgery is an important one and it involves you, your neurologist, and our whole team. If interested, ask your doctor to refer you to us and we will see you and consider multiple treatment options.

I enjoyed this presentation, I think it's important to know what may be available in the future. 10 years to approval seems way too long for some patients, including me 😀😀

It is. The steps in research are important as they help to show that the new treatment is safe and effective. At Fixel, our interdisciplinary approach takes advantage of approved therapies that work for our patients. That may include medicine, surgery, therapy (PT, OT, Speech). Then we also have clinical trials that patients can participate in.

Very good talk, however, PLEASE stop saying “right” as it is extremely distracting

Does Parkinsons interfere with speech and pronunciation.

@RobertKamperTX 3 ай бұрын

It can... slurring of words, difficulty in control over breath, forming the words, etc. But there are therapies (breathing, singing, speech therapy, to name a few) that can help counteract the problems one might encounter. And every person with parkinson's is different - thus the saying: "If you've seen one person with Parkinson's, you've seen one person with Parkinson's."

@FixelInstitute 3 ай бұрын

It can. It's important that you see a Parkinson expert who can help determine if the speech issue is from PD or from something else.

@@FixelInstitute Thanks for elaborating - I agree with you on that. And by Parkinson's expert, can one assume you mean a neurologist who is also a Movement Disorders Specialist? (instead of a Person with Parkinson's (albeit with a PhD from UF and a research nerd) like myself)? 🔬🤔
