Often tests are done to rule out other conditions which resemble Parkinson's. Treatment Treatment is needed to correct the chemical imbalance. Drugs alleviate the symptoms but do not halt the progression of Parkinson's. As the symptoms increase, more medication is needed. While treatment does enable people to function better, it is not perfect and may cause side effects.
Ongoing research is focused on finding more effective treatments.
