This course will provide a summary of the best-evidence treatments for Parkinson’s disease, drug-induced movement disorders, and a select group of other movement disorders. Symptomatic and disease modifying therapies will be discussed and evidence-based approaches to achieve the best treatment outcomes in Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorder conditions will be reviewed. The motor complications of Parkinson’s disease will be described including strategies for managing on-off dopamine medication fluctuations. Finally, a model for optimal care including a collaborative care team will be discussed.
