Abstract

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a serious and rapidly growing public health problem. Growing understanding of PD has unveiled substantial medical and biological complexity including preclinical disease, motor and non-motor symptoms, multi-organ involvement, co-morbidity, and an array of potential molecular drivers and mechanisms of disease that likely vary among patients. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) convened Parkinson's Disease 2014: Advancing Research, Improving Lives to build consensus on PD research priorities. Our thirty-one recommendations form a foundation for precision medicine that will bring individual clarity to the medical and biological complexity of PD.
