There are currently no approved laser therapies for PD. We have a nice book at http://www.parkinson.org/ that you can download for free from NPF. It goes over all relevant material you will need. There is information at mdc.mbi.ufl.edu Also, new procedures are on the What's Hot column also at http://www.parkinson.org/ Most people are opting for DBS these days, but specific and interdisciplinary screening at an experienced site is needed as the surgery is not for everyone._________________Michael S.
