This review outlines treatment strategies for motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease, suggesting novel drug delivery and monitoring approaches.
Key Points
- Motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease include bradykinesia, rigidity, and tremor that impact daily life.
- Current treatments focus on pharmacological dopamine substitution but leave significant unmet needs, especially in advanced PD.
- Insufficient responses to levodopa can cause motor complications and impairments in speech and balance.
- Emerging therapies involve novel targets, combination therapies, and the use of wearable technologies for better management.
