Researchers Find 2 New Early Signs of Parkinson’s

A study of the health records of over a million people in East London has identified two conditions that might be early symptoms of Parkinson’s disease: hearing loss and epilepsy.1

Recognizing these as possible signs of Parkinson’s may help providers diagnose the disease earlier, which could help people get access to treatment sooner.

What Is Parkinson’s?

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disease of the brain and nervous system that affects a person’s ability to move.

However, people with the disease can have a range of symptoms, some of which are not related to movement.

What’s more, not everyone with Parkinson’s will have the same symptoms or experience them to the same degree.
