13 Oct How To Treat Parkinson’s Disease At The Earliest?
Parkinson’s disease has been affecting more than 10 million people worldwide! This clearly shows that the condition isn’t rare. And, having affected so many millions of people, it is obvious that researchers have been doing a lot of investigation into the matter to be able to find the cause and treatment of the ailment. Nevertheless, in spite of the innumerous trials and ordeals, medical scientists haven’t yet been able to find the definite cause of the problem; and because there isn’t a definite cause known yet, there also isn’t a definite cure.
Can Parkinson’s disease be treated?
Yes, there is an effective and sustained treatment for Parkinson’s disease. Again, Parkinson’s disease causes several symptoms and the doctor has to tailor the treatment for the specific symptoms the patient is suffering from. Unfortunately, there is no cure for Parkinson’s disease yet but we have made significant advancements in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Treatment includes exercise regimens, physical therapy, speech therapy, medications, botox injections, pump therapies and brain surgery. All these therapies and surgeries will require reevaluations and replacements to renew the process so that it can be used further to bring relief for longer.
History of Parkinson’s disease
Parkinson’s disease was discovered way back in 1959, and assessments and studies are being conducted ever since; yet there’s no definite cause and cure. However, one thing is for sure, and that is, the brains of people with Parkinson’s disease become deficient of the neurotransmitter chemical dopamine. Thus, their brains need to be induced with an alternative that can satiate this deficiency. Working over this, scientists discovered a medication “levodopa” in 1967. The medications levodopa if taken at the right dose and right time as per the instructions of your movement disorder neurologist, it works wonders and helps to control the symptoms very well.
Identifying Parkinson’s disease symptoms early
As you can see, Parkinson’s disease has no permanent cure; so, waiting for the symptoms to become noticeable and aggressive before opting for a treatment can become quite dangerous. You must thus identify the symptoms at the earliest, and go in for a suitable treatment as soon as possible. The symptoms we are speaking about could be slight tremors in the limbs, problems in holding objects, dizziness, slowed movements, and speaking difficulties. You must identify these before these symptoms worsen to bring rigidity, walking difficulties, and posture problems. However, not every symptom mentioned above can be related to Parkinson’s disease; it could be a result of any other neurological disorder too. Thus, it is important that you get in touch with a movement disorder specialist to help identify the exact problem that is causing these problems; and then provide the most suitable treatment.
