PREVIEW

Although Parkinson's disease cannot be cured, judicious use of pharmacotherapy may make the patient's disabilities more tolerable. The authors note that treatment must be individualized and that the patient's age at diagnosis is a consideration in the approach. Research is proceeding on surgical procedures that may be appropriate when drugs fail. For information on causes and diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, see the article by the same authors in the July 1999 issue
