We are delighted to share with you our latest recording featuring Dr. Alfonso Fasano, a world-renowned neurologist and researcher, presenting “New Allies Against Parkinson’s: Adaptive DBS & Subcutaneous Foslevodopa”.


🌟 What to Expect

This webinar will explore two groundbreaking treatments that are changing the landscape of Parkinson’s care:

• Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation (aDBS): Learn how this technology personalizes stimulation in real time to better manage symptoms and reduce side effects.
  
  
• Subcutaneous Foslevodopa: Discover how this new delivery method could offer smoother and more continuous relief from motor fluctuations, potentially replacing traditional oral medications.
