Palliative care in Parkinson’s disease

Project description

Europe unites for optimal care in Parkinson's disease

Patients suffering from Parkinson's disease (PD) exhibit a plethora of motor and non-motor complications that lead to the progressive loss of autonomy in daily living activities. This causes significant physical and psychosocial issues, hampering the continuity of care. The EU-funded PD_Pal project is working on a new model of palliative care that can be easily implemented when disability limits patient mobility and independence. The project will undertake a randomised controlled trial to validate the effectiveness of the proposed model of palliative care and transfer the generated knowledge to all European countries. Through novel PD management guidelines, PD_Pal researchers envision optimal care protocols for PD patients across Europe.
