Parkinson’s disease is a neurological disorder that causes involuntary movements of the body. It is also called Parkinsonism and is a hereditary disorder. The cause of Parkinson’s symptoms is unknown, but heredity, dopamine, nerve cells, and brain proteins are among the suspects. The disease can be seen in children and in some cases it can be found in elderly people.
Parkinson’s symptoms can affect every part of your body and they range from weakness in facial muscles to difficulty with speech and walking. Motor symptoms include bradykinesia, rigidity, ataxia (lack of coordination), and bradykinesia (loss of muscle tone). The early signs of Parkinson’s disease symptoms are gait instability, rigidity, and poor posture. As the disease progresses, you will notice that the movement of your limbs become slower and that stiffness becomes more severe.
In addition to the motor symptoms of Parkinson’s, there are also many non-motor symptoms. These include dysfunction of the digestive system, urinary incontinence, wasting of weight (dysphagia), anemia, poor concentration, tremors, and disturbances to sleep. Some of the non-motor symptoms that may occur frequently include uncontrolled shaking, trembling, excessive sweating, poor memory, difficulty concentrating, and slurred speech. A majority of Parkinson’s patients develop non-motor symptoms more rapidly than motor symptoms do.
There is no one test that can confirm Parkinson’s disease. However, many of the symptoms are consistent with Parkinson’s and therefore they can help in the diagnosis of this disease. The most common of these symptoms is tremor. Tremor is a slow and gradual loss of movement of the body that occurs for no apparent reason.
Parkinson’s disease can be diagnosed through several means. The first involves performing a neurological examination to rule out neurological diseases like Parkinson’s. If the disorder is ruled out, a physical examination will need to be done, especially of the face. One side of the face will generally have a wider range of movement than the other side.
The second means of confirming the presence of the disease is through observing the behavior of the patient. This is usually done when the patient presents with the first symptoms of the disease. When the disease progresses, the patient will experience rigidity, not only in the muscles of the face but also in the tendons and muscles of the face. Facial rigidity will result in a frown line that runs from the forehead to the jaw. This frown line, called the molar teeth, tends to recede over time as the disease progresses.
Medications can help control some of the early symptoms of the disease. This includes non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications that can help relieve muscle spasms. Medications can also be used to slow the progression of the disease, although these medications cannot cure it completely. They can, however, help control the movement of the face.
While medications can help control symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, it is important to remember that the disease is incurable. No medication can cure Parkinson’s or stop its progression once it has started. Treatment options are limited because the cause of Parkinson’s remains unknown. Thus, medication can play an important role in managing some of the symptoms of the disease, but the ultimate treatment for Parkinson’s must be done through lifestyle changes, including the diet and use of nutritional supplements and vitamins.
The symptoms of Parkinson’s can also be managed by the patient and his or her family. Proper medical care can help monitor the disease and can identify early warning signs of worsening health. A doctor may also suggest screening for depression and may provide emotional and psychological support. Regular checkups with the doctor not only allow him or her to spot any potential problems, but can also provide valuable information about a person’s medical history and current health.
When the disease progresses to later stages, treatment can involve different medications and surgical techniques. In later stages of Parkinson’s disease, for example, bradykinesia, or muscle rigidity, can affect the legs. In these cases, medication can help control muscle rigidity and provide relief from stiffness. A doctor may recommend a procedure for removing part of the brain (brachycardia) or prescribing electrical stimulation to stop muscle spasms. In more severe cases of Parkinson’s disease, which affects both the legs and the brain, surgery or medications might be necessary to relieve the problems.
Parkinson’s symptoms may include one side of the body, such as the left side, progressing at a faster rate than the other side, such as the right side. This symptom is called parkinsonism rigidity. This tends to be genetic, with some families having a higher tendency to develop it. This symptom can be very frustrating, since the rigidity of muscles can result in pain and other problems. It is not clear why families with a higher tendency to Parkinson’s disease have a higher incidence of this condition, but the slow progress of this symptom might be due to the fact that early detection provides early treatment. Therefore, it is important for patients and their families to become aware of symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, whether they first notice them, during a routine visit to the doctor, or after receiving a diagnosis of Parkinson’s.
