Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s Disease is a progressive disorder of the central nervous system. It is caused by a loss of dopamine in the brain, which results in a set of five symptoms and signs: tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia (slow movements), gait disorder and loss of balance.

Parkinson’s Disease is an invaluable book for those suffering from the disease and their families. In this book, Dr. J. David Grimes discusses a number of important issues regarding this disease, including:

  • diagnosis and treatment
  • new and current drug therapies
  • the latest stereotactic surgical procedures
  • controlling symptoms and reducing side effects
  • adapting the home and managing day-to-day life
  • the latest research into gene therapy and stem-cell potential
