[Current therapy of idiopathic Parkinson disease. 1: Diagnosis, therapeutic guidelines, standard pharmacotherapy and physical therapy].
The necessary prerequisite for adequate medical and physical treatment are early diagnosis and differential diagnosis. The gold standard for medical treatment of Parkinsonism continues to be the administration of L-dopa. However, in view of the complications associated with the long-term use of L-dopa, combination treatment with dopamine agonists and substances presumed to have a neuroprotective effect, for example selegiline, administered at the onset of the disease is currently gaining importance and finding increased interest.
