Verified review.
Thanks to the great Bookimed and coordinator Marne Pastukhova for help in organizing the survey at the University Clinic of Freiburg
I learned about the clinic from my friend, who was treating epilepsy there with her son five years ago, after a single attack in the clinic. The child returned to normal life. I went to the clinic with a diagnosis of my son's parkinson. We conducted a checkup at the clinic to confirm the diagnosis. In the shortest time - 5 days of inpatient stay, we had a complete clinical and laboratory study, necessary for diagnosis and treatment. Yes, unfortunately, for today this disease is indistinguishable, but it is possible to improve the quality of life with the help of correctly selected therapy. We were offered treatment with drugs, which I, as a doctor, did not even hear in Russia. Ochenb was impressed by the organization of work in the clinic: quickly, clearly and without unnecessary words. I was placed with my son in one ward, we advise him. department, professor. It should be noted that all the research conducted in the clinic, meet all world standards (this I can evaluate, again, as a doctor). And also we were impressed by the very good-natured attitude of the medical staff to us, from the nurse to the chief doctor. Thanks to the great Bookimed and coordinator Marne Pastukhova for help in organizing the survey at the University Clinic of Freiburg. Remained very satisfied!

What patients like

  1. Parkinson's disease treatment efficacy. Germany uses innovative treatment methods for Parkinson's disease, which are not even heard in some countries. Many patients have reported an improvement in their quality of life after treatment.
  2. Doctor's professionalism. The clinicians in Germany meet all global standards in terms of medical qualifications and expertise. Their work is characterized by efficiency and clarity.
  3. Cost. The Parkinson's disease treatment cost in Germany varies widely depending on the specific case and can be higher compared to other countries. However, the high cost is often justified by the quality of care and innovative treatment methods used.
  4. Service level. Patients appreciate the friendly and professional attitude of the medical staff, from nurses to chief doctors.
  5. Logistics. The organization of work in the German clinics is highly efficient, providing a complete clinical and laboratory study in a short time.

What patients don't like

  1. Despite the high level of care, the cost of treatment can be quite expensive and may not be affordable for everyone.
  2. The disease is incurable, so the focus of the treatment is mostly on improving the quality of life, which might not be the preferred approach for some patients.
  3. Logistically, as the clinics are in Germany, the travel and accommodation costs can add to the overall expenses for international patients.

The clinic operated on the father (oncology and urology). Excellent chamber, a wonderful surgeon Dr. Wolfgang Dillenburg and head. Department of prof. Edward Becht. Protocol examination on good equipment, friendly doctors, excellent postoperative care. Most of all I was surprised that Prof. Bekht personally made a detour twice a day: in the morning with medical staff, in the afternoon one. But in general, everything is sharpened by a long full life. I am very pleased. What else I liked: the patient is explained everything in detail, offering several ways to solve the problem. It's great!

We are discharging from the hospital, we will keep in touch with this doctor. The procedures go terribly, there is no specific treatment prescribed yet, there is no diagnosis. Besides the fact that my daughter eats, has lunch, has dinner as in a usual sanatorium, they just rip off 600-700 euros per night - a lot of money when you don’t see the result, why stay, just overnight to pay money. I am not happy with the visit.

My mother was diagnosed in Russia with a terrible diagnosis - breast cancer stage 4. The doctors' actions were not credible, so we turned to Bookimed for the selection of a clinic and a doctor. We were offered a Park-Klinik Weißensee, Dr. Ursula Makowiec. Mom passed a 3-day examination in the hospital, in a separate ward. Friendly atmosphere, professionalism, respect for the elderly patient - all this allowed us to relax, not to try to control every step of the medical staff, to read the articles on the Internet. I was sure that we made the right choice. And most importantly - the diagnosis was not confirmed! My mother was not breast cancer with metastases, but a sweat cancer in the armpit without any signs of metastases, the prognosis is much more favorable. The doctor told us - you came here with a fatal diagnosis, but you came out as a healthy person! We plan to be observed further in this clinic with this doctor. I would also like to thank the translator Marina Wernke. She was not only an excellent professional, but also a very pleasant conversationalist, we were very comfortable with her. I also want to thank the curators who helped a lot all the time while mom was in the clinic.

FAQ about Parkinson"s disease Treatment in Germany

Parkinson's disease is a chronic progressive disease of the central nervous system, which is manifested by a violation of the human motor function. Often, "motor paralysis" is typical for people over 60 years old, but the first symptoms appear much earlier: slowness of movement, increased muscle tone, tremor.


Modern medicine will help your loved one to get rid of the symptom that in Parkinson's disease limits his life - tremor (trembling of the limbs). After treatment, the patient will be able to eat and drink independently, walk normally, talk, use the phone and perform other normal activities.

What are the treatments for Parkinson's disease?

Doctors abroad have made significant progress in the fight against Parkinson's disease, although in the CIS countries the disease is considered incurable and only some symptoms are alleviated. Foreign neurosurgeons and neurologists use various methods of Parkinson's treatment. The protocol of therapy depends on the stage and degree of functional disorders in the patient.


Drug treatment of Parkinson's

After a comprehensive examination, the doctor selects the type and dose of the drug, over time, therapy requires adjustment. In the early stages of Parkinson's, doctors prescribe medications that replace dopamine:

  • Carbidopa and Levodopa - stimulates the production of dopamine by brain cells.
  • Bromocriptine, Ropinirole, Pramipexole - mimic the production of dopamine.
  • Rasagiline, Selegiline - help fight motor disorders.
  • Anticholinergic drugs - relieve tremor and increased muscle tone, but have a short effect.

Surgical treatment of Parkinson's disease

Deep brain stimulation ( DBS ) is a safe and minimally invasive intervention on the brain. Postoperative rehabilitation lasts 3-4 days, the risk of side effects is minimal. 90% of operations are effective.

The operation is carried out in 2 stages:

  • Under local anesthesia, the doctor inserts 2 electrodes into a specific part of the brain along a path pre-designated by a computer.
  • Under general anesthesia, the surgeon sews the pacemaker into the chest area and connects electrodes to it.

The generator sends electrical impulses to the brain, after which the patient's sleep normalizes, and the musculoskeletal function is restored. The doctor reduces the dosage of necessary medications for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.



The method of deep brain stimulation has a number of strict contraindications and requires a thorough diagnosis before surgery.

Contraindications:

  • the patient's age is over 75 years;
  • positive reaction to Levodopa;
  • serious chronic diseases;
  • mental illness;
  • memory impairment.

Innovative treatments for Parkinson's disease

Ultrasonic scalpel (MRgFUS)

The doctor acts on the brain with ultrasonic waves under the control of MRI and destroys the pathological part of the brain, due to which tremor develops. The procedure does not require surgical intervention. Assign to eliminate uncontrolled tremor.

stem cell transplant

An experimental method for the treatment of Parkinson's disease, which is already successfully used in the treatment of hemorrhagic stroke and multiple sclerosis. The patient is given stem cell injections that stimulate the production of dopamine.

What determines the cost of Parkinson's treatment?

According to Bookimed partner clinics, the cost of surgery for Parkinson's disease is affected by:

  • scope of diagnostics;
  • stage of the disease;
  • the presence of concomitant diseases;
  • selected country and clinic.

Bookimed's assistance in choosing a clinic for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and organizing procedures does not affect the cost. Our services are free for you. Find out more about how we work .
