Treatment and management

With the exception of a report of a slight improvement in patients who have received deep brain stimulation1 there is currently no medication that has been shown to regain losses in the sense of smell in Parkinson’s.  The authors of the report believe that the small improvement is probably because the stimulation affects the cognitive processing of information to do with smell.
