Research reveals effective treatment for Parkinson's

01/12/12

New research from the University of Florida and 14 additional medical centers focused on a new treatment for Parkinson's disease that shows positive results in a clinical testing environment.

Published in the web version of The Lancet Neurology journal, the research indicates that deep brain stimulation, or DBS, is effective in improving motor symptoms as well as the quality of life in patients suffering from advanced cases of Parkinson's disease.

"We are committed to driving research that will provide solutions for physicians and their patients whose needs are currently unmet," said Rohan Hoare, president of St. Jude Medical Neuromodulation Division. "These results are significant as they offer evidence that stimulation with the Libra constant current system enabled patients to have better motor control and an improvement in their quality of life when compared to the control group."

Parkinson's disease is a common affliction among the elderly, with warning signs manifesting at even earlier ages in some cases. Adults knocking on the door of old age should already have a life insurance policy in place, but those who do not can still find a policy and can do so for the lowest amount possible by comparing life insurance quotes online.
