His age is 65 years and following symptoms:- involuntary eye movements cannot speak cannot walk cannot eat and totally on bed from past 2 years. His disease started with trembling in hands past 13 years and then goes on increasing and then difficulty in walking started and then with no control on his speech and thereafter he started forgetting present things but remembering past and then slightly his conditions worsened and now he is completely on bed without any movement and not able to speak. He yawns properly but can't open his mouth for eating. He feels pains and have some sensitivity left and open his eyes but does not speak. Please help us if there is any treatment possible.

Your father seems to have severe Parkinson's disease. Stem cell therapy is in intense research for many conditions. Deep brain simulation might be helpful.
