Exercise and pharmacological treatment: a synergy in Parkinson's disease | Giselle Petzinger

Dopamine loss disrupts brain circuitry that may be fundamental in Parkinson's disease. Dopamine replacement drugs, such as levodopa, alleviate motor symptoms of the disease, but people often experience side effects over time. In clinical reports, those who decline dopamine replacement often experience excessive fatigue rendering them unable to exercise and gain its benefits. In this clip, Dr. Giselle Petzinger discusses how no evidence exists that lifestyle factors, such as diet and exercise, can cure Parkinson's disease or obviate the need for dopamine replacement.
