New Research Insights for Understanding and Treating Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological condition that affects movement, speech, and mobility. Caused by the loss of dopamine-producing neurons critical for motor control, Parkinson’s typically develops over time and can cause additional symptoms, including chronic pain and sleep disturbances.
Parkinson’s disease is a major global health challenge. With prevalence doubling over the past 25 years, more than 8.5 million people worldwide live with the condition, including approximately 30,000 patients in Chile.
