Parkinson's disease and nonmotor dysfunction

This unique book covers those non-motor aspects of Parkinson's Disease (PD) that are equally or even moe debilitating than the major motor problems associated with PD.

By focusing solely on non-motor aspects of PD, this volume permits a more detailed and in-depth discourse of each of the selected topics. Organized into four major sections; Behavioral Dysfunction, Autonomic Dysfunction, Sleep Disorders, and Sensory Dysfunction, each chapter covers the clinical features of each including pathophysiology, diagnostic testing and treatment.

Increased awareness of non-motor features of PD will aid in the development of neuroprotective approaches in the treatment of PD and thus will serve both the practicing clinical neurologist and the movement disorder specialists in care of their patients and as a reference text for their research purposes.
