Parkinson’s disease (PD) is often thought of in terms of its motor symptoms, such as slowness of movement, stiffness, and tremor. While levodopa and dopaminergic drugs can help alleviate the motor symptoms of PD, patients are often also troubled by common non-motor symptoms such as fatigue, pain, sleep disturbances, constipation, urinary and sexual problems, and disturbed mood or cognition.
