Abstract

Parkinson's disease [PD] is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders. There have been significant recent advances in the understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease. There has also been a greater realization that the disorder may be associated with significant non-motor disturbances in addition to the more commonly recognized motor complications. There are many drugs like levodopa and carbidopa, ropinirole, pramipexole, rotigotine etc. and some MAO-B INHIBITOR like selegiline and rasagiline which are used in treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Some COMT INHIBITOR and others drugs are also available and some herbs like turmeric, ginger, garlic etc. provides temporary relief from Parkinson’s disease. There are two vaccines which are under development for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.
