Diagnosis
A lack of a definitive test to diagnose PD can make confirmation of the disease a lengthy process. A movement disorder specialist will make a diagnosis based findings from a medical history, review of symptoms, and a neurological and physical examination. Blood and imaging test may be ordered to rule out other conditions that may cause symptoms.1
European Parkinson’s Disease Association (EPDA)
EPDA advocates for the rights and needs of people with PD and their families.
