The Parkinson's Disease treatment paradigm is currently undergoing changes as new agents and formulations emerge. This improved paradigm promises to provide physicians and patients with more effective symptom control, and perhaps, delayed disease progression. Filled with relevant clinical insights and guidance, this pocket volume will provide easily accessible information to help physicians integrate the updated treatment guidelines into clinical practice.

This pocket guide is the first portable, concise and up-to-date resource of its kind addressing the complexities of treatment decisions for the various symptoms and challenges in PD. The volume provides practical clinical guidelines on assessment (staging) and treatment of early and advanced PD, as well as addresses associated complications. In addition to diagnosis and assessment, the handbook covers pharmacological treatments, including therapies for neuroprotection and functional impairment, dosage and administration guidelines, surgical procedures, non-pharmacological management, and management of both motor and non-motor complications.
