Medical Management of Movement Disorders.
Pharmacological treatment is the cornerstone in the management of movement disorders. Although most available treatment options have no impact on the underlying process of each movement disorder, symptomatic therapies can significantly improve patient's quality of life and level of disability. Here, we review the current knowledge on clinical symptomatic management of Parkinson's disease (both early and advanced stages), essential tremor, dystonia, and chorea. Ideally, treatment should be carried out by specialists with reasonable experience in movement disorders, as it needs to be tailored for each patient depending on several appraisals, including but not limited to patients' needs, compliance issues, potential side effects, caregiver support, and presence of comorbidities. When medications fail to improve patient's disability, stereotactic surgery is a well-established option for most of these disorders.
