We take a look at the use of pump technology (Produodopa) in battling the symptoms of Parkinson’s..
A small pump delivers a continuous dose of medication under the skin through a small needle.
How will it improve 'off' periods ?
How difficult is it to manage the pump and change the infusion site?
Can you lead a normal life with it?
Parkinson’s patients Anna Jewell and Helga McFarlane together with 'Professor AI' tell us the pros and cons of pumping it up!
