Can surgical treatment for Parkinson's disease provide relief?

Patient's question:

My aunt couldn't sleep at night and took chlorpromazine as a sedative, experiencing multiple adverse reactions. Can Parkinson's disease surgery alleviate the condition?

Doctor's answer:

Parkinson's disease is a disease of the brain's nervous system and cannot be treated with surgery unless there is a clear lesion. Even if there is a clear lesion, elderly patients with Parkinson's syndrome cannot tolerate surgery. Therefore, the treatment of Parkinson's disease is still based on medication, which can only control symptoms and cannot achieve significant therapeutic effects. Thus, Parkinson's disease is also considered an irreversible condition.
