Parkinson’s Disease News
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement. It is characterized by tremors, stiffness, slowness of movement, and balance problems. Caused by the loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain, its symptoms gradually worsen over time. While there is no cure, treatments like medication and therapy can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
