Hi welcome to HCM.
Parkinson's disease cannot be completely cured with medications. Its a progressive motor disorder associated with neuronal cell death. Disease can be kept well in control only in the initial stages with levodopa drugs and their congeners. The disease worsens over a time period with patient finally getting restricted to bed with serious curtail of all the routine activities. In the late stages its important to seek the help of physical therapist to improve the diet intake. Trans cranial nerve stimulation can be used in refractory cases to elevate the mood and cognition of the patient. Consult your cardiologist for further help.
Thank you.
