Do Non-Motor Symptoms Matter?

This is the first lecture in a four-part series examining the profound impact of Dysautonomia on morbidity, mortality, and quality of life in Parkinson’s patients, and the current status of research on its causes and strategies for managing it.

Dysautonomias are non-motor disorders that involve the nerves and can have serious effects on our vital functions—including breathing, heart rate, blood pressure. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University describe 15 different disorders that fall under the broad category of dysautonomia. These include: constipation, acting out your dreams, dizziness or weakness when standing, and lack of sense of smell. Such disorders are not random, rare, or insignificant.

Join us for a conversation with Dr. Goldstein to learn more about dysautonomia.
