Parkinson’s disease was renamed after Dr. James Parkinson, an English physician who first described its symptoms in1817, by Jean-Martin Charcot, a French neurologist and professor of anatomical pathology. This disease is a long-termdegenerative disorder of the central nervous system that mainly affects the motor system. Early in the disease, the most obvioussymptoms include shaking, rigidity, slowness of movement and difficulty with walking.   So far scientists have no idea about what causes the disease, but many believe it involves both genetic and environmentalfactors. Those with a family member affected are more likely to get the disease themselves. There is also an increased risk inpeople exposed to certain pesticides and those who have had prior head injuries, while there is a reduced risk in tobaccosmokers and those who drink coffee or tea.   There is no cure for Parkinson’s disease, but medications may markedly improve the patients’ symptoms. Initial treatmentstypically involve taking drugs. As the disease progresses, these medications become less effective while producing acomplication marked by involuntary writhing movements at the same time. Customized diets and some forms of rehabilitationhave shown some effectiveness on alleviating its symptoms.   This disease usually hits the victims before they or their family observe the symptoms. Also, a detected symptom wouldusually be ignored or treated improperly. While there is no record of recoveries, little evidence has shown that the disease is adirect contributor to death.
