Parkinson’s Disease Treatment

Parkinson's Disease is a progressive Neurological disorder that affects 1 percent of the population above 60 years of age. At present, there are 10 million people living with Parkinson’s Disease worldwide. The condition affects the patient’s motor functions, giving rise to symptoms like slowing down of movement, frequent Tremors, and muscle rigidity. The symptoms are not evident initially and these tend to aggravate slowly. There is no cure for Parkinson’s, however, the condition can be managed with the right treatment and care.

Parkinson's disease is the result of the gradual breakdown of certain neurons that are responsible for producing dopamine. This leads to a gradual decline in dopamine levels, giving rise to abnormal brain activity. The exact cause of Parkinson’s is not known, however, there are several factors that may be responsible for it. These include:

  • Certain Genetic Mutations
  • Various environmental Triggers such as Pesticides, Toxic Chemicals, etc 
  • Presence of protein lumps that interfere with normal brain function
  • Existing progressive brain conditions like multiple system atrophy and corticobasal degeneration
  • Use of certain medication
