In the category of what treatment options are on the horizon for Parkinson’s disease, gene therapy is one of the exciting ones. It can also be difficult to understand what it is and how it might help our brain function more normally. Never fear dear listener, we found a guy, well a brain surgeon super smart guy, to explain it to us so we can get it. So, stay tuned as we learn all about gene therapy as a potential treatment for Parkinson’s disease and how close we are to possibly adding it to the options available to neurologists for helping all of us live a better life. Thank you to my sponsor, Boston Scientific, the maker of Vercise Genus, a Deep Brain Stimulation or DBS system. To learn more about Parkinson’s treatment options, please visit DBSandMe.com.
