The primary goals of managing Parkinson’s disease include alleviating symptoms, improving quality of life, and slowing disease progression.
Treatment options for Parkinson’s disease include medication, deep brain stimulation (DBS), physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications.
DBS is considered when medication alone fails to adequately control motor symptoms or when medication leads to significant side effects. It involves the surgical implantation of electrodes in specific areas of the brain to regulate abnormal electrical signals.
Movement disorders are neurological conditions characterized by abnormal voluntary or involuntary movements. They include conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, essential tremor, and Huntington’s disease, among others.
Lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet low in saturated and trans fats, exercising regularly, managing high blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol levels, and limiting alcohol consumption can help reduce the risk of stroke.
