    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: The physiopathology of the motor symptoms is the best known aspect of the Parkinson's disease. This knowledge led us to use several drugs and therapeutic strategies to improve these features of the Parkinson's disease. DEVELOPMENT AND CONCLUSIONS: Mainly based in the theory of continuous dopaminergic stimulation, new drugs, new routes of administration and new galenic formulations have been developed, as well surgical procedures and other therapies have been introduced to improve the management of patients with long diseases without a responses to the classic therapies. At the same time, several often-used drugs have disappeared due to its non-parkinsonian adverse effects and also the influence in quality of life of non-motor parkinsonian adverse effects have been ultimately recognized.
