Advancements in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Parkinson’s Disease

Advancements in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Parkinson’s Disease

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.

Guest: Forrest Sturgill, M.D.

Parkinson’s Disease is a relatively common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor symptoms such as bradykinesia, rigidity and resting tremor, as well as non-motor symptoms such as autonomic dysfunction, mood disorders and cognitive changes. The diagnosis is established with a medical history and physical exam. Parkinson’s is truly a disorder where the neurologist needs to work with the primary care clinician to provide optimal care of the patient. What are the typical presenting symptoms of Parkinson’s? Is an urgent referral to a neurologist necessary? When should pharmacologic treatment be started? The topic for this podcast is “Advancements in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Parkinson’s Disease” and these are some of the questions I’ll be asking my guest, Dr. Forrest Sturgill, a neurologist in the Department of Neurology at the Mayo Clinic.
