Summary, etc. <address></address><div><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 8pt;">Over the past few years, there has been renewed interest in surgery to treat Parkinson's disease. Although drug treatment (particularly levodopa) is the main form of treatment for Parkinson's, it can be complicated and have side effects that some people find difficult to manage.</span></span></div><address></address><div><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 8pt;">Surgery is generally only used to treat people who have had Parkinson's for some time and whose symptoms are not controlled effectively by medication. It may also be used for people who are experiencing very troublesome dyskinesias.</span></span></div><address></address><div><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 8pt;">This booklet explains the different types of surgery available. It features case studies of people who have had surgery, explaining the procedure and the after effects. The case studies show that while surgery can be successful, it does not work for everyone. For some people, it is just not suitable. There are risks involved, which are explained in this booklet.</span></span></div><address></address><div><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 8pt;">If you are thinking about the possibility of surgery, you must discuss this with your doctor and/or medical team. A list of the most commonly asked questions can be found in the final [section] of this booklet. These have been compiled through talking to medical professionals and people who have had surgery.</span></span></div><address></address><div><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 8pt;">There are some potentially exciting research projects into new forms of surgery. However, they are still at early stages and, as with all medical trials, need to be tested for several years before they are considered safe and effective. This booklet outlines some of the new research being conducted and provides further sources of information.</span></span></div>
