Research

These are our main projects: Work and PD: How does PD affect the patient’s ability to work and how can patients who want to stay in work life be enabled? Care of Late Stage Parkinson's Disease, CLASP: Together with six other European centers, we investigate how best to take care of PD patients in the most advanced disease stages. Monitoring of PD: By quantitative and objective mapping of patient symptoms, the basis for adequate therapy is laid. Pump-based PD therapies: The most effective pharmacological therapies are provided with portable pumps. We are working on the continued improvement of these treatment methods. Non-motor symptoms: A long forgotten aspect of PD - we map the occurrence of non-motor symptoms and work with improved methods of treating them. Swedish Parkinson Registry, ParkREG: We work in national cooperation with developing ParkREG and using this resource for studies in PD.
