Over 50% of Parkinson's patients suffer symptoms unrelated to the dopamine system The dopaminergic features of Parkinson's Disease are now well controlled in most patients. Clinicians are increasingly focused on non-dopaminergic symptoms, which can lead to disability and severely restricted quality of life in patients.
In Parkinson's Disease: Non-Motor and Non-Dopaminergic Features, the world-class Editorial team has assembled a stellar roster of scientists and clinicians to present the clinical importance of non-dopaminergic pathology in Parkinson's Disease. Significant research is examined and its relevance to clinical practice, both now and in the future, is assessed. All major aspects of non-dopaminergic symptoms are covered including:
- Non-dopaminergic Pathology of Parkinson's Disease
- Pre-motor Parkinson's Disease
- Rating Scales for non-motor features of Parkinson's Disease
- Dementia
- Psychosis
- Sleep disturbance
- Autonomic dysfunction
- Gait and orthopedic complications
Parkinson's Disease: Non-Motor and Non-Dopaminergic Features provides the most scientifically rigorous and clinically pertinent analysis of the most important symptoms that trouble Parkinson's patients.
