Parkinson's Disease

Diagnosis

Mayo Clinic specialists have extensive experience in the evaluation, differential diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson's disease.

At Mayo Clinic, movement disorders specialists may diagnose Parkinson's disease confidently based on review of the patient's medical history and a thorough physical exam. When atypical features are observed by history or by examination, however, additional testing may be required. Specialists may order blood tests, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and neurophysiological studies in Mayo Clinic's Movement Disorders and Autonomic Laboratories to confirm a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
