A Case of a 66-Year-Old Man With Parkinson Disease and Dyskinesia

Panelists discuss how a 66-year-old man with 8 years of Parkinson disease presenting with severe peak-dose dyskinesia affecting basic functions like eating and speaking, plus 4 hours of daily “off” time despite frequent dosing, represents a patient who should not have been allowed to progress to such advanced motor complications, emphasizing that the preferred approach is early intervention to treat motor fluctuations and dyskinesia as they develop rather than waiting until patients reach this severely impaired state with complex symptoms requiring more intensive management strategies.
