Clinical characteristics and reaction to dopaminergic treatment of drug-naïve patients with Parkinson's disease in central China: A cross sectional study

The motor symptoms of patients with early PD were mild but virous. They also suffered from different non-motor symptoms. In ALCT, about two thirds of patients (54/80) with early PD showed good response to levodopa. Among four aspects of motor symptoms, bradykinesia reacted best to ALCT, while axial symptoms were the worst.
