Original abstract
Drug therapy in Parkinson's disease can be performed by anticholinergic substances, adamantines or dopamines. Combinations are often useful. There are some new substances, such as bromocriptine. The paper gives a therapeutic scheme, after having shown the way to diagnosis. The non-drug or "additional" therapy is very important in Parkinson's disease: The patient's family must know the main symptom of slowing down for most reactions like laughter or eating for instance! Physiotherapy is important in the hospital, but also at home. In respect to the incidence rate all collegians should know the principles of treatment.
