[Title] => Winning the fight vs Parkinson’s disease
[Summary] =>
The success of the first-ever surgery to help patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease was not only a milestone in Philippine medical history; it is likewise a proud moment in the careers of the medical team who conducted the operation.
"You can’t put a price on the life of the patient," says Dr. Dominic Jamora, movement disorder neurologist of the Philippine Movement Disorder Surgery Center (PhilMove) team which conducted the implantation of the deep-brain stimulation (DBS) device that helps control the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.

[Title] => Early Parkinsons detection offers greater hope
[Summary] => Symptoms of Parkinsons disease become evident when an area of the brain called the substantia nigra begins to degenerate. Neurons (brain cells) in the substantia nigra slowly die, depriving the brain of dopamine, a chemical messenger or neurotransmitter that enables communication among the brain cells involved in smooth motor control.

[Title] => Activa Parkinsons therapy gaining ground in SE Asia
[Summary] =>
Thousands of patients from Asia have already benefited from the Activa Parkinsons Control Therapy, a deep-brain stimulation therapy that has been proven to suppress a number of Parkinsons symptoms.
Data gathered by the Philippine Movement Disorder Surgery Center (PhilMove) show that in Taiwan alone, an average of 200 patients undergo the procedure annually.
In Thailand, 60 patients have availed themselves of the Activa Parkinsons Control Therapy since its introduction in 2004 and in Hong Kong, 10 to 12 patients avail themselves of it every year.
