Summary

When actor Michael J. Fox revealed to television audiences that he suffered from Parkinson’s disease, he put a celebrity face on a debilitating disease that causes uncontrollable muscle tremors and rigidity of movement. Parkinson’s Disease reviews the history, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of this chronic, progressive neurological disease that often affects people later in life. Discussing research into the possible genetic cause of Parkinson’s, this title also covers the exciting new treatments (and possible cure) that scientists are currently developing and testing.
