Advances in the treatment of the motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease

Parkinson’s disease is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative condition. It  damages  central  nervous  system  dopaminergic  but  also  serotonergic  and noradrenergic pathways. There is no known cure, and no existing therapy has been proven  to  slow  or  reverse  progress  of  the  disease. Treatment  aims  to  alleviate symptoms and preserve functional independence while minimising adverse affects.
