2. Parkinson-plus syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson-plus_syndrome

   Parkinson-plus syndromes (PPS) are a group of neurodegenerative [1] diseases featuring the classical features of Parkinson's disease (tremor, rigidity, akinesia / bradykinesia, and postural instability) with additional features that distinguish them from simple idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD). Parkinson-plus syndromes are either inherited ...

3. Parkinson's disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson's_disease

   James Parkinson. Parkinson's disease (PD), or simply Parkinson's, is a neurodegenerative disease of mainly the central nervous system that affects both the motor and non-motor systems of the body. The symptoms usually emerge slowly, and, as the disease progresses, non-motor symptoms become more common. Usual symptoms include tremors, slowness ...

4. Multiple system atrophy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_system_atrophy

   5 per 100,000 people. Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder [ 1 ] characterized by tremors, slow movement, muscle rigidity, and postural instability (collectively known as parkinsonism), autonomic dysfunction and ataxia. This is caused by progressive degeneration of neurons in several parts of the brain including ...

5. Parkinsonism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinsonism

   Parkinsonism is a clinical syndrome characterized by tremor, bradykinesia (slowed movements), rigidity, and postural instability. [ 1 ][ 2 ] Both hypokinetic (bradykinesia and akinesia) as well as hyperkinetic (cogwheel rigidity and tremors at rest) features are displayed by Parkinsonism. [ 3 ] These are the four motor symptoms found in ...

6. Synucleinopathy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synucleinopathy

   Neurology. Synucleinopathies (also called α-Synucleinopathies) are neurodegenerative diseases characterised by the abnormal accumulation of aggregates of alpha-synuclein protein in neurons, nerve fibres or glial cells. [ 1 ] There are three main types of synucleinopathy: Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and multiple ...

7. Parkinson's disease dementia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson's_disease_dementia

   Cognitive behavioral therapy can help Parkinson's patients with parkinsonian pain, insomnia, depression, anxiety, and impulse disorders, if those interventions are properly adapted to the motor, cognitive and executive dysfunctions seen in Parkinson's disease, including Parkinson's dementia. [10]

9. Extrapyramidal symptoms - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrapyramidal_symptoms

   Although Parkinson's disease is primarily a disease of the nigrostriatal pathway and not the extrapyramidal system, loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra leads to dysregulation of the extrapyramidal system. Since this system regulates posture and skeletal muscle tone, a result is the characteristic bradykinesia of Parkinson's.
