Parkinson's disease, Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder of the central nervous system. Nerve cells in the brain that control movement deteriorate and die, causing problems with movement, especially tremors in the hands and rigidity in the face. The disease affects men and women equally, primarily after age 60. However, about 10% of people with the disease are under age 40. Symptoms become worse over time, although the disease usually progresses gradually. No cure is available, but drug therapy can help alleviate the symptoms.
