World Parkinson's Day
Every year, World Parkinson's Day, raises concerns about this common nervous system disorder. It's also a day to help the general public understand the truth of this disease for those who have it.
According to recent statistics from the Parkinson's Foundation, over ten million people in the world have this disease. Neurodegenerative disorder occurs when neurons in the brain malfunction or die. Dopamine levels in the brain decreases as these nerve cells die. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that moves messages from one nerve cell to another. Low dopamine levels cause abnormal brain function, resulting in impaired mobility, which leads to impaired mobility. Tremors are usually the first sign of Parkinson's disease, and this is why tremors are often the first sign of Parkinson's disease.
The following are examples of early signs of this disease:
- Handwriting reforms have been made. Handwriting reforms have been made
- Loss of smell
- Trouble sleeping
- Arms or legs are not insecure. Stiffness in arms or legs is also present in arms or legs
- Constipation
- Soft or hoarse voice
- Dizziness
- Hunched over posture
Just because someone has one of these signs does not necessarily mean they have Parkinson's disease. However, if someone has more than one of these signs, they may want to see their doctor. When the disease progresses, it can cause dementia, depression, and limited mobility.
Parkinson's Disease is a progressive disease for which there is no cure. However, there are medication options that may help to resolve the symptoms. Medication is often used to help with specific signs of this disease. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is also available for certain patients. Electrodes are implanted into the brain during this procedure. These electrodes deliver electrical impulses to the brain, which may help reduce symptoms.
