Self-care in Parkinson's: A study for patients and caregivers
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how people with Parkinson's and their caregivers take care of themselves. It might help you learn more about your own self-care and how to work together as a team.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
