I heard that there are two different types of Parkinson's. I am interested in idiopathic form of this disease. My interest in this issue is because of my sister. She was diagnosed with that idiopathic from of Parkinson's disease. Is this form more dangerous than the other? Can this be cured in some way?
Yes, there are two forms of Parkinson's disease. The one is idiopathic parkinson's disease and the other parkinsonismus . For the first form of this disease there is no known cause. Manifestations of this type of disease are tremor, rigidity (resistance to passive movement) and dyskinesia (slowness of voluntary movement). There also can be fixity of facial expression.
