Advanced Treatment Options: A Guide to Deep Brain Stimulation, Pump Medications & Focused Ultrasound

As Parkinson’s disease (PD) progresses over time, managing movement symptoms with standard medications can become more challenging. When this happens, people often explore other treatment options. These include deep brain stimulation (DBS), pump medications and procedures such as focused ultrasound.

This guide explains how these treatments work, why they are used and what to know before or after starting them. It aims to answer common questions and support informed conversations with your care team.
