The diseases that can be associated with bradykinesia are the following:

Please note that this is not an exhaustive list and that it would always be best to consult your doctor if the symptoms persist.

What are the remedies for bradykinesia?

There is no definitive cure for bradykinesia associated with Parkinson’s disease.

However, drugs such as levodopa or dopamine agonists can reduce it by increasing brain levels of dopamine.
