Dementia represents one of the most challenging health problems. Despite intense research, available therapies have thus far only achieved modest results.

Often PSP does not respond to levodopa therapy, whereas the rigidity accompanying PD should improve with therapy.[4] The hallmark “pill rolling” tremor of PD is usually absent[eyewiki.aao.org]
The classical, slow, pill-rolling resting tremor of PD is rare in MSA. What is mostly found is an irregular, higher-frequency postural tremor.[doi.org]
