帕金森病的迹象和症状起初可能是温和的。帕金森的早期症状可能包括轻度震颤或一条腿略微僵硬或拖动的感觉。手写也可能有问题。这些症状可以影响身体的一侧或两侧。早期症状还可以包括便秘和嗅觉。

随着疾病的进展，症状可包括：

• 刚性或僵硬的肌肉
• Muscle aches and pains
• 弯腰姿势
• Slow blinking or slowed, quieter speech and monotype voice
• Difficulty swallowing
• Drooling
• No expression in your face (like you are wearing a mask)
• Trouble getting up from a chair or couch

帕金森病的病人还可以体验运动问题，例如：

• 难以启动运动，如步行或离开椅子
• Slowed movements
• 丢失小手动运动（写作可能会变得小而难以阅读）
• Difficulty eating

Tremors can:

• 当你的四肢没有移动时发生（休息震颤）
• Occur when your arm or leg is held out
• 移动时消失
• 当你累了，兴奋或压力时会变得更糟
• Cause you to rub your finger and thumb together without meaning to (pill-rolling tremor)
• 最终可能发生在你的头部，嘴唇，舌头和脚上

As Parkinson's disease progresses, it can have a significant impact on overall health and well-being. Advanced symptoms of Parkinson’s can include:

• Problems with balance and walking
• Low blood pressure when you stand up, which may lead to fainting
• Sweating and not being able to control your body temperature
• Anxiety
• Tension
• Memory loss
• 困惑
• Depression
• Dementia
  

At Penn State Neuroscience Institute, our experts will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms and perform a thorough physical examination. There is no specific Parkinson’s test, but sometimes imaging can help rule out other conditions. A special kind of imaging called single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) may help confirm a Parkinson’s diagnosis. But most people with Parkinson’s are diagnosed based on their medical history, a review of signs and symptoms, and a neurological and physical exam.

普通帕金森的疾病症状，我们的专家将寻找包括：

• Slow in movement
• 刚性
• Shaking (tremors) while resting

在宾州州神经科学研究所，我们的目标是富有同情心和有效地对待帕金森病的症状。我们在这里为您服务的每一步。

There is no cure for Parkinson’s disease, but our experts at Penn State Neuroscience Institute will work with you to create a treatment plan to best control your symptoms. If you or a loved one has Parkinson’s disease, take comfort that many medications can help in the early stages of the disease. How well the medicine continues to relieve Parkinson’s symptoms as the condition progresses can vary widely.

一些帕金森的患者可能会受益于呼吁的外科手术deep brain stimulation (DBS)。In DBS, a device called a neurostimulator delivers small electrical signals to the parts of the brain that control movement. If our team thinks you are a candidate for DBS, we’ll talk to you about the benefits, risks and what to expect.
