Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) has a low prevalence in India except in the small Parsi community where Bharucha et al. found a high prevalence. Although early onset PD and familial cases have been described from India, no genetic mutations have as yet been identified. PD has been known in India since ancient days and the powder of Mucuna Pruriens seeds was used for its treatment. The present day management of PD in India is similar to that in the other countries. Unfortunately, lack of awareness, limitation of human resources and cost factors deny the benefits of therapy to many patients.Entities:
