Following our previous episode on what to expect with ‘off’ periods in Parkinson’s, this episode focuses on potential management methods.

Canada-based Barbara Salsberg Mathews, who was diagnosed with the condition in 2020, shares her personal strategies for tackling ‘off’ states and the impact these have had.

She is joined by Dr Silvia Rota, an Italian neurologist and clinical research fellow who sheds light on various treatments and approaches that may be beneficial.

Together, our two guests explore how different tactics can help people to take better control of their ‘off’ periods – and why open communication is key.
