No there is no cure for Parkinsons. There are some medications that do help the symptoms.

Tremor is often the first symptom that people with Parkinson's disease or their family members notice.

Initially, the tremor may appear in just one arm or leg or only on one side of the body. The tremor also may affect the chin, lips, and tongue. As the disease progresses, the tremor may spread to both sides of the body. But in some cases the tremor remains on just one side.

Emotional and physical stress tend to make the tremor more noticeable. Sleep, complete relaxation, and intentional movement or action usually reduce or stop the tremor.

Up to one-third of people with Parkinson's disease may develop dementia and confusion, similar to

Alzheimer's disease, late in the course of the disease. Depression can further contribute to memory loss and confusion. Memory loss, hallucinations (seeing or hearing things that aren't really there), and vivid dreams may sometimes be caused by drugs taken to treat Parkinson's disease.

As far as I'm aware Parkinson's is a genetic thing I have just recently found out that my son has infantile Parkinson's with dystonia and he will be two in May.

Other factors have been proposed but have been unproven. For example, pesticides.
