Abstract

Patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD) face a variety of nutritional challenges, including dysphagia, malnutrition, impaired absorption, gastrointestinal issues, and adverse drug interactions, in addition to body weight fluctuations. These challenges are especially significant for those utilising device-aided therapies (DATs), requiring personalised management strategies. Integrating dietitians into the multidisciplinary team (MDT) is vital for optimising nutrition, enhancing medication efficacy, and managing symptoms. This paper outlines strategies for supporting advanced PD patients using DATs, highlighting the critical role of dietitian assessments. Although there is no one-size-fits-all solution, dietary interventions are essential for improving motor function, preventing complications, and promoting overall health.
