Default Non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's 'hinder driving'
I asked my CERE-120 trial Principal Investigator about driving one day, a year or so ago. He gave me this leer and said, "If I had my way, none of you would be driving." I have never forgotten the look on his face and the tone of his words.


Non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's 'hinder driving'

Barchester (UK), 27/01/2011

A study, published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry found that common Parkinson's symptoms could mean that some people with Parkinson's cannot drive safely.

Researchers compared the driving performance of mild to moderate Parkinson's patients to those of similar ages and driving experience who did not have the condition.
