Treatment Options for Parkinson’s Disease

There is no cure for Parkinson’s disease and, currently, no disease-modifying treatment can slow, stop, or reverse the progression of the neurodegenerative disorder. However, a wide range of treatments are available that can help to ease disease symptoms and make living with Parkinson’s more manageable.

Different medications are prescribed for motor versus nonmotor symptoms. While Parkinson’s mostly affects movement and balance, other disease-related problems such as dementia, sleep disturbances, mental health issues, and fatigue, may also require treatment.
