Groundbreaking laser treatment offered to Parkinson's patients in Ireland

Parkinson’s patients can avail of a new laser therapy treatment being brought to the Irish market that targets common symptoms of the disease.

Australian med tech company SYMBYX has designed a laser therapy device, which targets cells within the gut and ultimately can improve the wellbeing of Parkinson’s patients. Orla Hares, an Irish native who works as a physiotherapist in Canada, will host the webinar and is optimistic about the project.

“The clinical trial is now up and running. We recommend that people join the live webinar so we can show them how to use the laser therapy device. A lot of people with the condition are heavily dependent on their medication; we want to try and reduce that,” Orla told Dublin Live.
