Parkinson's disease happens when the brain loses cells that make dopamine, a chemical that helps control movement. This can cause unusual brain activity and make it hard to move normally.1 We don't know exactly what causes Parkinson's, and it affects each person differently. Thankfully there are many treatments that can help manage the symptoms.

ABOUT

Welcome to Abbott's Parkinson's Disease community page, dedicated to sharing and celebrating everyday moments of living well while managing the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Our commitment is to help you live your best life possible through good health. One way we do that is by researching and developing better ways to live your best life with Parkinson's disease.

We want you to have a place to share thoughts about taking better control of Parkinson's symptoms. DBS therapy may be an option for finding greater symptom control and more time to live your best life.

DBS is a personalized therapy that works by stimulating areas of the brain associated with involuntary movements using a thin, implanted wire connected to an implanted stimulator.

DBS therapy can work along with medication to help improve control of your symptoms. Stimulation can be turned off or adjusted to meet unique therapeutic needs.
