There is no cure for PD, but many patients don't require treatment for several years after they are diagnosed. When their symptoms do become severe, their doctors may prescribe drugs that help replace dopamine.
Other approaches to treating severe PD include:
Pallidotomy—a type of brain surgery that can effectively reduce symptoms in many people
Deep-brain stimulation—a procedure in which a pacemaker-like device is placed in the brain to reduce tremors.
