There's no single test for Parkinson's disease, but symptoms and response to treatment can guide diagnosis. Symptoms of Parkinson's disease vary from person to person, but they tend to get worse over time. The signs and symptoms of Parkinson's are divided into two categories: motor (movement-related) and non-motor.
Currently, there are no blood or lab tests to diagnose Parkinson. Diagnosis of Parkinson is based mainly on a medical history and thorough neurological exam. Brain scans or lab tests may be done to help rule out other diseases or conditions, but brain scans generally will turn out to be normal with Parkinson. Methods to diagnose Parkinson include: 1  Neurological exam (including evaluation of symptoms and their severity) 2  Trial test of drugs. When symptoms are significant, a trial test of drugs (primarily levodopa [L-dopa]) may be used. 3  Computed tomography scan (also called a CT or CAT scan).
