Finding the right Parkinson’s treatment plan can be a trial-and-error process. The kind of medication, the dosage, the timing, lifestyle factors and more are all important pieces of the puzzle. In audio from this Third Thursdays Webinar, our expert panel made up of people living with Parkinson’s disease (PD), a movement disorder specialist and a researcher discuss different medication options, practical tips for finding what works best for you and the latest research on emerging treatments.
