• L-Dopa significantly improves motor function in Parkinson's disease, often serving as the first-line treatment.
• Trihexyphenidyl is effective for managing tremors, although it may cause side effects such as dry mouth.
• 3-O-methyldopa shows potential as an alternative treatment but requires further investigation for wider application.
• Patient responses vary, indicating the need for personalized treatment strategies in managing Parkinson’s symptoms.
