A history of head trauma may predict a more rapid decline in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), new research suggests. In a longitudinal online study, among patients with PD who had a history of head injury, motor impairment developed 25% faster and cognitive impairment developed 45% faster than among those without such a history. In addition, severe head injuries were associated with an even more rapid onset of impairment.
