How does it feel to live with Parkinson’s disease? December 5, 2014 At GKA our strength in recruiting and conducting patient studies in Parkinson’s disease (PD) allows us to get a true understanding of what people living with PD face every day. Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological condition which can be symptomatically treated, but not cured.

Dopamine is involved in the coordination and control of movement, and as the levels progressively fall as PD worsens, the symptoms of Parkinson’s start to appear. written by GKA Read more
