As far as I know: no, unfortunately not. There are a few things against the symptoms (medication and deep brain stimulation).
But the mechanism responsible for PD is still more or less unknown , so basic research is still being done. That's why (again: afaik) there is nothing revolutionary in sight at the moment.
(I wrote my MD loosly on the subject, so I have some insight)

They state it eliminates the tremor, that is just a side effect of PD so yes, it just deals with the symptoms. Funny enough most people with tremors do not have PD but jus a "Essential tremor". Bad enough but not that severe.
With PD parts of your brain are dying, so if a therapy does not deal with that it is not curing PD.
