[Current issues surrounding Parkinson's disease]

Abstract

The number of people suffering from Parkinson's disease is constantly increasing. Diagnosis is based on the motor and non-motor symptoms present throughout the course of the disease. To preserve patient autonomy, the main therapeutic challenge is to propose a treatment adapted to each profile, in conjunction with the implementation of non-medication strategies, reflection on improved accessibility to existing medication and research into innovative therapies.
