Overview

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement and impacts millions of people worldwide. Characterized by the loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain, PD leads to a range of motor symptoms including tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability. Additionally, non-motor symptoms such as cognitive impairment, mood changes, and sleep disturbances can significantly impact quality of life for individuals with PD. While there is currently no cure for Parkinson's disease, various treatment options are available to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. These include medications like levodopa and dopamine agonists, deep brain stimulation surgery, and therapies such as physical and occupational therapy.
