Progress in Clinical Neurosciences: A Forum on the Early Management of Parkinson's Disease
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 December 2014
Abstract:
There are numerous concerns related to treatment choices involving early dopaminergic therapy in Parkinson's disease. These include the effect on the underlying progression of the neurodegenerative process as well as the development of motor complications such as fluctuations and dyskinesias. A number of recent basic and clinical studies have provided new insights but have also added confusion and controversy. This report summarizes presentations and discussion dealing with these issues from a one-day symposium involving Canadian Movement Disorders neurologists.
Résumé:
Le traitement précoce de la maladie de Parkinson au moyen d’agents dopaminergiques soulève plusieurs questions, entre autres son effet sur la progression du processus neurodégénératif et sur le développement de complications motrices telles les fluctuations et les dyskinésies. Des études fondamentales et cliniques récentes ont fourni de nouvelles avenues de réflexion, mais elles ont également suscité la confusion et la controverse. Cet article résume les présentations et les discussions sur le sujet lors d’un symposium d’une journée tenue par des neurologues intéressés par les troubles du movement (Canadian Movement Disorders Group).
