A Review on Treatment of Parkinson`S Disease
Parkinson’s disease is indeed a complex and progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by both motor and non-motor symptoms. Management focuses primarily on palliative care, aiming to enhance quality of life over the course of the disease, which can span several decades. Device-assisted therapies, such as deep brain stimulation, apomorphine pumps, and levodopa gel intestinal infusion, have revolutionized the treatment of advanced Parkinson's disease. These interventions can help manage motor fluctuations and improve overall function. Non-motor symptoms, including neuropsychiatric issues (like depression and anxiety), gastrointestinal problems, urogenital dysfunction, and sleep disturbances, are significant aspects of the disease. Remarkably, many of these symptoms can appear years before a formal diagnosis, underscoring the need for early recognition and comprehensive management strategies. Addressing these non-motor symptoms is crucial for improving patient care and support for those living with Parkinson's disease. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is indeed a significant neurodegenerative condition, typically manifesting between ages 55 and 65. The disease leads to a gradual worsening of both motor and non-motor symptoms, profoundly impacting quality of life.
