is als the same as parkinson's
Thx :). Both Parkinson's disease (PD) and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are chronic, progressive neurodegenerative diseases for which there is no cure. Parkinson's disease has both motion and non-motor symptoms while ALS is predominantly a motion disorder. Both conditions may share a common environmental trigger as just one of the causes. It has recently been disclosed that severe head trauma can lead to ALS. This has been know about PD for many years.
