Guideline "Parkinson's disease" of the German Society of Neurology (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Neurologie): concepts of care

In 2023, the German Society of Neurology published a new guideline on Parkinson's disease. An important section dealt with PD care concepts, which represent a particularly dynamic field of PD research, including their implementation in clinical practice. Parkinson's disease is the second most common age-associated neurodegenerative disease. Current estimates of the number of cases in the population describe a significant increase in prevalence in Germany by 2030 with higher proportions in rural areas, which also have a lack of sufficient PD care resources.
