MDS 2022 | The symptomatic management of Parkinson’s disease

Margherita Fabbri, MD, PhD, University of Toulouse, Toulouse, France, describes the pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies used for the symptomatic treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Interesting results regarding the use of dopamine D1 receptor agonists in early and late-stage PD are expected soon. Similarly, a low dose of pramipexole with a low dose of rasagiline is a promising therapeutic approach in terms of tolerability. The early use of amantadine can be a helpful strategy to delay motor complications associated with PD, particularly dyskinesia. Physical exercise also plays an important role in improving the gait and motor function of both early and advanced-stage patients. This interview took place at the 2022 International Congress of Parkinson’s disease and Movement Disorders in Madrid, Spain.
