Highlights
- •Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex condition with a wide range of symptoms, like impaired movement, tremors, apathy and depression, and many other symptoms. The disease results from degeneration of dopaminergic neural cells. No cure at present but symptomatic some palliative treatments are available to slow down the disease progression.
- •According to the Parkinson’s Foundation every year in U.S., approximately 60,000 Americans diagnosed with PD. Nearly one million will be living with PD in the U.S. by 2020, which is more than the combined number of people diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
- •There is no diagnostic test for PD, yet, but this article will review all kinds symptomatic and disease-modifying therapy. Among all, Cell therapy seems to be the best option considering its vast applicability to this idiopathic disease, PD.
