摘要
Parkinson's disease (PD) affects 1 percent of the population over the age of 65. The number of people with this disorder is steadily rising. Therapy for PD remains primarily pharmacologic, with medications that target the depleted dopaminergic system being the mainstay of therapy. Surgical therapies, both ablative and stimulatory, are increasingly being used for patients with more advanced disease and/or complications of drug therapy. Experimental therapies aimed at restoring dopaminergic function and protecting dopaminergic cells are being studied. Alternate neurotransmitter systems are being evaluated as potential targets for therapy. Complete treatment of patients with PD utilizes education, physical therapy, support groups, and medication. When a comprehensive approach is used, PD is treatable and manageable.
