In the next episode of Dr. Gilbert Hosts, hear guest Michael Schwarzschild, MD, explain what pre-motor symptoms are, why they matter, and what you should do if you notice them in yourself or a loved one. Parkinson’s symptoms may begin much earlier than you think. Join us on July 9th at 10am PT.
For years, a Parkinson’s disease (PD) diagnosis has focused on visible symptoms like tremor, slowness, stiffness, and walking challenges. But we also know that the pathological changes that accompany PD start decades earlier. These changes can result in more hidden signs, like smell loss, constipation, and certain sleep disorders (known collectively as pre-motor or non-motor symptoms). These early clues, combined with exciting breakthroughs in biomarkers and genetics, are transforming our understanding of Parkinson’s and opening new doors for earlier detection and intervention.
Webinar attendees will learn:
- What the pre-motor symptoms of PD are and why they matter
- What steps you can take if you are experiencing early, non-motor symptoms
- If PD should be diagnosed based on biomarkers, not based on clinical exam
- If a clinical trial can aim to prevent PD in someone who is at high-risk of developing PD
- And more!
Jot down your questions so Dr. Schwarzschild can answer them LIVE during the program.
