Parkinson's Disease Treatment

Parkinson's disease is a slowly progressing chronic degenerative disease of the central nervous system. It is accompanied by the death of nerve cells containing dopamine, as a result of which the patient loses the ability to control body movements and, over time, to perform simple daily activities.
The disease is diagnosed mainly in the elderly. According to statistics, the average age of patients with this pathology is 57 years. 

Symptoms

The onset of the disease is usually inconspicuous, with manifestations growing gradually. Parkinson's disease can be suspected by the following signs:
    • resting tremor — rhythmic, slow, increasing with excitement, weakening with movement and in sleep;
    • slowness of movement;
    • muscle stiffness; 
    • stiffness of movements;
    • flexion pose;
    • shuffling gait;
    • balance disorders falls;
    • changes in the amplitude of habitual movements;
    • chronic constipation;
    • depression;
    • episodes of falling blood pressure;
    • cognitive impairment, hallucinosis (in the later stages).

As a consequence, over time, a syndrome of increased fatigue and pain in the muscles, cramps, and a wobbly gait appear. The face becomes mask-like, blinking of the eyelids is less frequent than usual. Weakening of the facial muscles is observed, perhaps even a complete lack of facial activity. 

In severe clinical cases, urinary incontinence and the inability to move independently are observed. At the same time, the patient continues to think straight.

Approximately one-third of patients with advanced Parkinson's disease develop dementia. Problems with memory and thinking grow. 
At the appearance of the first symptoms, you should make an appointment for a consultation with a doctor because, behind tremor, physical lethargy, and fatigue can hide a dangerous disease. Timely and proper treatment can slow the progression of the pathology and maintain a satisfactory quality of life.

Reasons

The exact cause of Parkinson's disease has not been established. However, it is associated with hereditary predisposition. It is also believed that degenerative processes in the brain may be caused by a disruption of dopamine synthesis due to neuronal death.

Among the risk factors:
    • intoxication;
    • exposure to adverse external factors;
    • suffered craniocerebral injuries;
    • intoxication of the nervous system;
    • atherosclerosis of cerebral vessels.

Diagnostic methods

When Parkinson's disease is suspected, patients undergo a comprehensive examination. At the VIVERE CLINIC, each patient is given a personalized diagnostic scheme, which allows us to accurately diagnose and identify the cause of the pathology. This may include:
    • laboratory tests of blood and cerebrospinal fluid to detect or rule out similar diseases (viral infections, markers of neurodegeneration, oligoclonal bands);
    • EEG;
    • electromyography;
    • CT scan, MRI of the head;
    • ultrasound of the head and neck vessels.

Our clinic offers all kinds of tests and instrumental examinations. We also cooperate with the world's leading laboratories, which allows us to perform unique specific analyses and get to the bottom of the true cause of degenerative processes in the brain.

Prevention

To reduce the risk of developing the pathology, you should avoid exposing your body to toxins and negative external factors, as well as frequent stress. It is also important to timely treat any vascular diseases, inflammation of the brain membranes, infections, etc.

Treatment

The treatment program is developed individually for each patient, taking into account age and examination results, and is aimed not just at eliminating symptoms, but at destroying the causative factor. At the VIVERE CLINIC, patients with this diagnosis are treated by a Parkinsonian physician. He selects anti-Parkinsonian therapy and takes care of the patient throughout life, ensuring regular monitoring and treatment adjustments.
The doctor selects a regimen of taking levodopa 3, 4, 5, or even 6 times with individual dosage determination, as well as prescribing additional medications. In addition, at the VIVERE CLINIC, patients with akinetic Parkinsonian crisis can receive expert care in a day hospital. 

Recommendations

Parkinson's disease treatment should be started as early as possible in order to avoid serious impairment of motor activity and to maintain a satisfactory quality of life for as long as possible. Do not hesitate to contact your doctor if you see any signs of the disease.

Cost

You can find out the price of individual treatment and diagnostic services in our clinic in the price list. The final cost of examination and treatment for Parkinson's disease is determined individually, as it depends on the methods used.

В клинике уютно и светло. Приятно удивляет всегда быстрое реагирование на вопросы и просьбы девушек-регистраторов, их доброжелательное отношение. Ни один вопрос в вайбере не остался без ответа. Дважды были с сыном на консультации у Шейко Макара Васильевича. Неординарный, профессиональный и, в то же время, душевный, можно сказать дружеский подход, к решению проблем пациента, у Макара Васильевича. Также 2 года назад мы были на приеме у иммунолога Мельник Леси Игоревны. Остались тоже очень довольны. Впечатлило глубокое понимание проблемы, а также достаточно доступное объяснение и интересное изложение информации.

Доброго дня! Нарешті я написала відгук, вже півроку з вами) Я мама дитини, яка до 18 років мала купу діагнозів, які і близько не мали відношення до нашої хвороби! Уявіть, скільки часу було витрачено... лікування ніяке (звісно) не допомагало, а ставало ще гірше. Доки нам не порекомендували Шейко Макар Васильовича! Сказати, що Він нам допоміг , це нічого не сказати! Макар Васильович врятував мою Софію! Завдяки правильній діагностиці, ми маємо НАШ діагноз (рідке орфанне захворювання) і правильне лікування. Я бачу поліпшення, моя дитина як заново народилася! Макар Васильович - це дбайлива і дуже чутна Людина, якій довіряєш!
