Parkinsons Disease
 First described in 1817 by James Parkinson
 Parkinsonism is a clinical syndrome of Rigidity,
Bradykinesia, RestingTremor, and Postural
Instability (loss of postural reflexes).
 Parkinson disease is a progressive brain disorder
characterized by the loss of neurons in an area of
the midbrain known as the substantia nigra.
Parkinsons Disease
 These neurons use dopamine as a neurotransmitter and
project their axons to the thalamus and the caudate and
putamen areas of the basal ganglia.
 Parkinsonism refers to any disease that alters
dopaminergic pathways connecting the substantia nigra
to the basal ganglia.

Epidimiology
 Estimated prevalence: 500,0001 million patients in
United States
 Incidence: 40,00060,000 new cases per year in USA.
 Affects up to 0.3% of general population, but 13% of
those >65 y/o.
 PD is largely a disease of older adults: only 510% of
patients have symptoms before 40 y/o (young-onset
PD).
Epidemiology
 Occurs between 45 and 65 years of age:
 Distribution is equal in men and women.
 Most cases are sporadic, but some cases are familial.
Classification
o Idiopathic Parkinsons Disease (~75% all patients)
o Familial Parkinsons Disease
 Genetic inheritable forms are rare, named after respectve mutated locus (e.g.
PARK1)
o Secondary Parkinsonism
 Drug inducsed (e.g. neuroleptics)
 Post-traumatic (e.g. Boxers Encephalopathy)
o Atypical Parkinsonism (they have a different neurodegenerative disease)
 Multiple System Atrophy (MSA)
 Progressive Supernuclear Palsy (PSP)
Cardinal Symptoms
o RestingTremor (Frequency ~ 4-6 Hz)
o Bradykinesia = Slowness of movement
o Rigidity = Increased muscle tone, resistance to
passive movements
o Postural Instability = Loss of balance

Dopamine Replacement Therapy
 L-Dopa Preperations
 L-Dopa in comboniation with Decarboxylase inibitor (Carbidopa,
Benserazid)
 Dopamine Agonist
 Ergot alkaloids = Dopamine agonists (Bromocriptin, Caberoglin,
Dihydroergocryptin,)
 Selective D2-Receptr agonists = Non-Ergoline Dopamine agonists
(Apomorphin, Piribedil, Parmipexol, Ropinirol, Rotigotin)
Essential Tremor
EssentialTremor is
Essential Tremor
 One of the most common movement disorders
 Prevalence of 3-4 per 1000
 2-4% among over 40
 3-6% among over 60
 20% among over 95*
 Annual incidence of 23.7 per 100,000
 Slightly higher prevalence among men (1.08 : 1)

Neuromodulation
Neuromodulation
 The International Neuromodulation Society defines therapeutic
neuromodulation as the alteration of nerve activity through
targeted delivery of a stimulus, such as electrical stimulation or
chemical agents, to specific neurological sites in the body.
10 Things to Know About Neuromodulation
1. Neuromodulation improves the quality of life for patients
in pain.
2. Neuromodulation can be applied through different
techniques.
3. Neuromodulation is FDA approved and has been used in
practice for more than a quarter century.
4. Potential neuromodulation patients can test drive the
modality.
5. Neuromodulation implants can be removed.
10 Things to Know About Neuromodulation
6. Neuromodulation alleviates or lessens pain without
putting patients into a drug fog.
7. There are neuromodulation specialists in your area.
8. Neuromodulation procedures are covered by most medical
insurance and Medicare programs.
9. Patient care is of the utmost importance to
neuromodulation specialists.
10.Neuromodulation is NOT SCIENCE FICTION.
