Parkinsons Disease


Parkinson's Disease treatment in Delhi.
Parkinson disease is a slowly progressive degenerative disorder of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). It is characterized by tremor when muscles are at rest (resting tremor), increased muscle tone (stiffness, or rigidity), slowness of voluntary movements, and difficulty maintaining balance (postural instability). In many people, thinking becomes impaired, or dementia develops.

Parkinson disease results from degeneration in the part of the brain that helps coordinate movements.

Often, the most obvious symptom is tremors that occur when muscles are relaxed.

Muscles become stiff, movements become slow and uncoordinated, and balance is easily lost.

Neurologists base the diagnosis on symptoms.

Changes in lifestyle, drugs (such as levodopa plus carbidopa), and sometimes surgery help lessen symptoms, but the disease is progressive, eventually causing severe disability and immobility.
