This article is authors’ endeavour to summarise the facts in different publications on Parkinson’s disease. Electronic databases like MEDLINE/Pub Med, Google Scholar, IMSEAR (Index Medicus for South-East Asia Region) and Scope med were extensively searched with MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) terms “Parkinson’s disease”, “treatment”, and “anti-Parkinson drugs” from the earliest possible date of 1966 to March 2017. Articles in any languages especially those published in recent years were given preference. This review deals mostly with evidence based management of Parkinson’s disease.
