Hello,
May need to make some changes in the doses of his medication (increase the doses) or add new drugs to help improve his situation.
Regarding surgery, there is an intervention (deep brain stimulation) which can help improve his situation, but the patients which are chosen for this type of surgery, should fulfill some clinical criteria. You should discuss with his doctor on the above issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
