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.
