The life expectancy of the patient affected by Parkinson's disease is the same as the rest of the population, if he/she receives proper treatment. However, the quality of life decreases with time as the disease progresses. Quality of life also depends on how the patient is treated, aggressive treatment with high doses of l-dopa will lead to a short-term complications, which most times are impossible to control with medication, thus causing the patient to be taken early to surgery for Parkinson’s. Conservative treatments in early stages with dopamine agonists or COMT inhibitors slow the onset of these complications, although it is considered that 20% to 30% of the patients will be surgical candidates.

The cost of a dependent person 24 hours a day is approximately 2,160€ per month (based on 3€/hour for 30 days) x 12 months is 25,920€ per year to pay between family members and the government (dependence law). In five years this represents a total expenditure of 129,600€, which amply exceeds the actual cost of surgery. Furthermore, the person with the disease will not improve; to the contrary, he/she will become increasingly dependent involving more care and greater resources.
