Parkinson’s disease is a disorder of the central nervous system, characterized by involuntary movements of the body. The loss of dopamine causes dopamine dysregulation which causes an imbalance in brain circuits resulting in disorders such as tremor, rigidity, poor balance, and slowing of motor function. This disease can be seen with the presence of parkinsonism signs, such as rigidity, slowing of movement, severe bradykinesia (lack of muscle coordination), asymmetry of movement and slowing of speech. The full name for this condition is Parkinson’s syndrome.
Parkinson’s symptoms can be grouped into two: general Parkinson’s disease and Parkinson’s specific. General Parkinson’s disease is the most common form and accounts for about 70% of all cases. It is characterized by early signs such as wobbling, dragging of extremities or mouth or face muscles, slowing of movement and speech, and bradykinesia (loss of muscle coordination). More advanced symptoms, such as bradykinesia and Parkinson’s rigidity, often develop in later adulthood or after other diseases. Parkinson’s disease can be diagnosed through blood tests and neurological exams. A physician may use lab tests to look for dopamine levels in the body, urine tests to look for protein levels, or spinal fluid tests to look for inflammation.
Once the diagnosis has been made, treatment options are determined according to the type of Parkinson’s disease experienced. Some people experience a purely physical disorder with no emotional component, whereas others have emotional problems such as depression, anxiety or stress. The treatment for each patient is guided by their medical history, family background, and possibly other factors such as medications, behaviors and environmental factors. Other treatments include physical therapy and certain biofeedback to help patients improve muscle tone and control muscle spasms.
To determine the proper course of treatment, a patient must be assessed in depth by his or her doctor, taking into consideration Parkinson’s symptoms, family medical history, and the person’s current state of physical health, including obesity and depression. The first treatment option most doctors recommend is antipsychotic drugs that are taken for the rest of the patient’s life if there are no other serious complications from which the disease has emerged. However, recent studies are showing that some of these drugs increase the risk of stroke and other heart problems, and they also have some severe side effects.
In the early stages of the disease, the symptoms are so slight that they can be treated with simple home remedies, such as using ice on the knees or relaxing the shoulders before lying down. If these natural methods do not alleviate the disease, additional treatments are recommended. These may include medication, biofeedback, or surgery. The disease progresses gradually, but it is possible to slow its progress by treating the disease at an earlier stage. The earlier the disease is detected and treated, the better the chances of full recovery.
Parkinson’s symptoms are divided into motor and speech disorders. Motor symptoms include bradykinesia (lack of muscle tone), rigidity, which are a characteristic of rigidity due to rigidity, and loss of coordination, movement, and balance. Speech symptoms include slurred speech and a visibly decreased ability to speak, as well as profound clumsiness and problems with swallowing and breathing. In addition, the Parkinson’s disease patient may begin to lose the use of one or more of the facial muscles.
Because the disease is characterized by a decline in dopamine production, the loss of dopamine makes the motor function of the body even less efficient, which causes the movement problems associated with Parkinson’s symptoms to worsen. The second main feature of Parkinson’s is the tremor, which results from the inability of the muscles surrounding the spine to move properly. Parkinson’s tremor is a characteristic of the involuntary movement of arms or legs. The slowing of movement is what makes people feel shaky, and it can occur either slowly or suddenly. In addition, because the brain is not getting the signals it needs from the muscles to move properly, the movement is often disorganized, causing the Parkinson’s patient to lose control.
Early symptoms can be difficult to diagnose, but once they are present, they are usually easy to spot. The most common of these is wobbling of one side of the body. Other early symptoms include rigidity, which are also a characteristic of rigidity, and loss of coordination, movement, and balance. Speech symptoms include slurred speech and a visibly decreased ability to speak, as well as deep clumsiness and problems with breathing. Although there is no cure for Parkinson’s disease, early symptoms can help to get a diagnosis before the disease gets worse.
