About Parkinson鈥檚 Disease
Affecting an estimated one million Americans, Parkinson鈥檚 disease is the second-most
common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer鈥檚 and is the 14th-leading cause of
death in the U.S. It is associated with a progressive loss of motor control (e.g.,
shaking or tremor at rest and lack of facial expression), as well as non-motor symptoms
(e.g., depression and anxiety). There is no cure for Parkinson鈥檚 and nearly 90,000
new cases are diagnosed each year in the U.S.
