- Title
Advanced Parkinson's disease: A clinical challenge.
- Authors
ADAM, ROBERT J.
- Abstract
Advanced Parkinson's disease is a challenging management problem, with multisystemic motor and nonmotor symptomatology that often manifests in distinct problems, sometimes with opposing mechanisms. Careful consideration of the treatment options, in consultation with a movement disorder specialist, and highly individualised care, involving a multidisciplinary team and appropriate use of 'device-assisted therapies' provides the best outcome for patients, improves their quality of life and reduces carer burden and hospital admission rates.
