How do doctors diagnose Parkinson’s Disease? In this episode (video here), we break down the key tests and evaluations used to identify Parkinson’s, including:

Clinical Evaluation: A neurologist assesses motor symptoms like tremors, rigidity, and slowness of movement, alongside your medical history.

DaTscan: An imaging test that uses a radioactive tracer to visualize dopamine-producing cells in the brain, helping distinguish Parkinson’s from other movement disorders.

Alpha-Synuclein Tests: Cutting-edge biomarker tests, including spinal fluid analysis and skin biopsies, that detect misfolded alpha-synuclein—a hallmark of Parkinson’s.

While no single test can confirm Parkinson’s, these tools, combined with a doctor’s expertise, provide critical insights for diagnosis. Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more expert content on Parkinson’s Disease research and management!
