Parkinson: Was gibt es Neues aus Forschung und Praxis?

Trembling hands – a classic symptom of Parkinson's disease. Today, the disease is very treatable at every stage. Knowledge and therapeutic advances in Parkinson's are progressing rapidly. Modern stimulation techniques, such as MRI-guided focused ultrasound, represent important milestones in this field. In Kiel, this technique is offered and researched at the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein.
