Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement and can cause tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination.
Common symptoms of Parkinson’s disease include tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia (slowness of movement), and postural instability.
Currently there is no cure for Parkinson’s disease. However, there are treatments available to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
Parkinson’s disease is typically diagnosed based on medical history, physical examination, and the presence of characteristic symptoms. Additional tests, such as brain imaging or blood tests, may be done to rule out other conditions.
