Pharmacological Treatments of Parkinson's Disease

Abstract

Parkinson's disease (PD) is recognized as the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. Parkinson's disease is a progressive disease characterized by a progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons of the black substance (SNpc) and dopamine deficiency in the striatal region as well as motor and non-motor symptoms. The main objective of Parkinson's research is to understand the pathogenesis, targets, and development of therapeutic interventions to control disease progression. The use of various agents could be a good strategy for the treatment of PD.
