Evolution and Innovation in Parkinson's Disease Therapies in Under-Resourced Settings

Parkinson’s disease, a debilitating neurodegenerative condition primarily affecting motor function, challenges both clinicians and researchers. From its initial recognition marked by rigidity and tremor to the triumphs of modern therapeutic innovations, the journey of Parkinson’s disease treatment demonstrates years of scientific breakthroughs and clinical resilience. The increased understanding of Parkinson’s diseases pathophysiology shapes the development of neuroprotective and disease-modifying therapies. As novel molecular and cellular therapies emerge, the trajectory from tremors to triumph underscores a future where Parkinson’s disease may be effectively managed or even cured. Evolution and Innovation in Parkinson's Disease Therapies in Under-Resourced Settings explores the historical evolution of Parkinson’s disease therapies, to the emergence of advanced strategies including deep brain stimulation, gene therapy, and precision medicine approaches. It examines the role of interdisciplinary research and technological innovations in transforming patient care. This book covers topics such as molecular therapies, herbal medicine, and pathophysiology, and is a useful resource for medical and healthcare professionals, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
