Managing Dopa Induced Involuntary Movements with Neurologic Music Therapy by Harshdeep Singh in TBSND - Juniper Publishers
Parkinson's disease is a degenerative condition of the central nervous system, which majorly affects the motor system. The condition progresses slowly over time causing symptoms like tremors, rigidity, slowness of movement and difficulty in walking in the beginning and dementia follows along with these symptoms in the advanced stages as the disease progresses. There are four cardinal motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease, which are tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia and gait instability. There is no cure for Parkinson's disease but certain treatments are available which slows down the progression of the disease by countering the symptoms [1]. There is also surgical management of implanting electrode for deep brain stimulation, which reduce these motor symptoms. However the underlying cause of Parkinson's disease is not well understood.
