Cerebral blood flow and freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease

We investigated the relationship between freezing of gait (FOG) severity in Parkinson's disease (PD) and regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) using single‐photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and evaluated the effect of selegiline therapy.
