Patient's question:
Doctor, I want to ask about the difference between Parkinson's and Parkinson's syndrome. Are there any differences between the two?Doctor's answer:
Parkinson's disease is the same as Parkinson's syndrome, which is different names for the same illness. It is primarily characterized by static tremors and increased muscle tone, with changes in gait being the main manifestations. It tends to occur more frequently in middle-aged and elderly men. It can be treated with medication, but the condition still progresses. Medication can slow down the rate of disease progression, and traditional Chinese medicine can also be used to alleviate tremors. It generally does not affect intelligence, but in the later stages, it can develop into dementia.
