9Treatment Options for Parkinson’s Plus Syndrome
While Parkinson’s plus syndrome cannot be cured, some treatment options can help manage the symptoms. These include:
– Speech therapy to help with speaking and swallowing problems. A speech therapist may show you how to communicate effectively and suggest proper drinks and foods for easier swallowing
– Occupational and physical therapy to improve balance, build strength, and avoid falls. You may also learn how to use assistive tools, such as walkers or canes
– Medications for mental symptoms, such as mood changes, anxiety, or depression, or improving cognitive health, especially memory and focus
– Medications to help improve balance issues and stiffness [9]
