It is characterized by slowly progressive akinesia, rigidity, postural abnormality, and resting tremor. Because of its crippling nature and non-availability of curative treatment, Parkinson’s disease has remained a great problem. Though in modern medical science a lot of research works have been done. Some medication like Carbidopa, Levodopa, recently some stereotaxic neurosurgery like as thalamotomy, subthalamotomy some brain stimulation technique like thalamic stimulation, subthalamic stimulation these medicine and surgery are being used to subside the symptom, Oral monotherapy has a number of unpleasant and occasionally even intolerable side effects while surgery is life threating.
