Hi.. Parkinsonism is a chronic condition.. The treatment that are available presently are only preventive and not complete cure.. Recent studies of stem cell therepy are in progress for finding a probably cure.. Lets hope this study succeeds in finding us the cure of parkinsonism and many more chronic disease... Untill then, you may have to wait.. Or you can become part of this study, since there are no severe ill effects of this procedure and hope this therapy succeeds...
dear oan
parkinsonism is a degenerative disorder
which results in various symptoms
the degeneration may be faster or slow
there is no preventive drug
there are drugs to reduce the symptoms of the disease
pl contact a neurologist
all the best
