More than one million people in the United States and an estimated seven million people worldwide are thought to have Parkinson's disease, a degenerative neurological condition. Although it can affect anyone at any age, regardless of race or gender, adults over the age of 50 are the most commonly diagnosed. Although the precise etiology of Parkinson's disease is unknown, it is thought to be brought on by a confluence of genetic and environmental variables. Parkinson's disease is characterized by a gradual depletion of the neurotransmitter dopamine. This neurotransmitter, which regulates movement, coordination, and smooth, balanced muscle tone, is crucial for the healthy operation of the brain and body. People with Parkinson's disease consequently have tremors and have trouble moving, in addition to other symptoms like rigidity, delayed movement, poor posture, and poor balance. Parkinson's disease does not presently have a cure, however, there are therapies that can help manage the symptoms and enhance quality of life.
