Pugilistic Parkinson's disease, also known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), is a neurodegenerative condition often seen in boxers and other athletes who have sustained repeated head trauma. Symptoms can include tremors, stiffness, cognitive decline, and emotional disturbances, resembling traditional Parkinson's disease. The condition is linked to the accumulation of tau protein in the brain, which disrupts normal neuronal function. Prevention focuses on minimizing head injuries in contact sports.
