Disease/Condition Glossary

Parkinson’s disease: It is a progressive disorder of the central nervous system that affects nerve cells in the brain which are responsible for producing dopamine. When this happens, dopamine levels start reducing. A person starts noticing stiffness, tremor in one hand, slow movements, shaking, difficulty walking, coordination, stooped posture, and voice changes. This condition can last for many years or life-long. Treatment with medicines and physiotherapy may help control the symptoms and provide a quality life for as long as possible.
