In this episode of the I Love Neuro podcast, hosts Erin Gallardo and Claire McLean discuss important updates and research related to Parkinson's disease. They used neurologist Dr. Michael Okun’s Instagram account as inspiration for the recent research to discuss.

The first article discussed is titled End-of-life Health Care Service Use and Cost Among Medicare Decendents With Neurodegerative Diseases. The discussion highlights the high healthcare costs and lack of planning for end-of-life care in neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's. The article emphasizes the importance of involving neurologists and having a comprehensive care plan to improve outcomes, and we discuss what that might look like.

The second article discussed is titled Pain Fluctuation in Parkinson’s Disease and their Association with Motor and Non-Motor Fluctuations with an interesting finding about the type of pain people with PD typically experience, when they experience and our theories about why. Pain management is an expensive and often frustrating industry, so this is an important topic!
