內容簡介

This book, written in the popular Q and A format of the YQA series, will provide sufficient information for a primary care doctor to be able to understand and treat patients who are suffering from Parkinson's Disease. The outlook for people with Parkinson's Disease is better now than at any time since the 1960s thanks to new drugs. Doctors need an up-to-date handbook that, amongst other things, sets out the benefits of the new drugs and analyses the side effects.

• Answers the questions that are frequently asked by patients.

• Discusses both commonplace and rarer issues.

• Covers all of the drug treatments available today, including their benefits and side effects.

• Explores treatments currently under development, such as gene therapy and biological therapy (i.e. brain cell transplantation).

• Includes useful information on web sites and associations.
