The motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease have been extensively researched, and effective clinical tools for their assessment and treatment have been developed and are readily available. In contrast, researchers have only recently begun to focus onthe NMS of Parkinson's Disease, which are poorly recognized and inadequately treated by clinicians.The NMS of PD ha
