If we had any competent persons at all in the stroke world via the WSO and stroke associations, we would have a similar article written up for stroke. The information is out there, someone needs to consolidate it and its not going to be me - I have stroke stupidity.

Abstract:
Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most frequent neurological
diseases. Despite the modern imaging and nuclear techniques which help
to diagnose it in a very early stage and lead to a better discrimination
of similar diseases, PD has remained a clinical diagnosis. The
increasing number of available treatment options makes the disease
management often complicated even when the presence of PD seems
undoubted. In addition, nonmotor symptoms and side effects of some
therapies constitute some pitfalls already in the preclinical state or
at the beginnings of the disease, especially with the progressive effect
on patients. Therefore, this review aimed to summarize study results
and depict recommended medical treatments for the most common motor and
nonmotor symptoms in PD. Additionally, emerging new therapeutic options
such as continuous pump therapies, eg, with apomorphine or parenteral
levodopa, or the implantation of electrodes for deep brain stimulation
were also considered.
