Abstract
Multidimensional, chronic, progressive and incurable, Parkinson's disease is, by definition, a palliative disease, and this from the moment of diagnosis. This vision, relatively new to neurology, calls for a paradigm shift, as well as a dual medical-paramedical and home-hospital alliance. This approach allows us to better understand the specificities of Parkinson's disease and its treatments in terms of palliative issues.
