Disease/Condition Glossary

Parkinson’s disease: It is a disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement due to damage of nerve cells in the brain which reduces the levels of dopamine and leads to symptoms such as stiffness, tremor in one hand, shaking, difficulty in walking, coordination and balance. 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.
