Parkinsonâs disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in the United States, second only to Alzheimerâs disease.

According to the National Parkinson Foundation, 50,000 to 60,000 new cases of PD are diagnosed every year in the United States and more than 1 million Americans currently suffer from the disease.
