Although the root of the Parkinson’s syndrome cannot be wholly removed, certain medications, surgery, deep brain stimulation and lifestyle changes can help calm one’s nerves of it.
The principal drugs used in treating the disease are levodopa. They are mostly combined with COMT inhibitor or dopa decarboxylase inhibitor, MAO-B inhibitors and dopamine agonists. These drugs are used in treating disorders of the somatic nervous system or voluntary motor control such as walking difficulties due to stiffness of muscles and bending of limps. Usage is primarily connected to the stage of the disease.
Levodopa turns into dopamine when it is ingested and transported inside some specific brain cells. It acts as dopamine which is lacked by sufferers of Parkinson’s. Levodopa is first when it comes to medications for treating Parkinson’s syndrome. In order to avoid nausea, levodopa can be combined with carbidopa, a drug that prevents the occurrence of nausea.
Commencing treatment with levodopa may be cancelled for MAO-B inhibitors and dopamine agonists. The annulment of levapora usage is as a result of the development of dyskinesia, a condition caused by using the drug. Dyskinesia is a disease that causes less movements and movements not initiated by the patient. It could cause a part of the body to appear as though it is dancing or it is restless.
Dyskinesia can cause severe impairments such as difficulty in writing, eating, shaking of someone’s hand, sitting or standing, lying down and more.
Motor control treatments are employed for two stages of the disease, the beginning stage where the patient already has disabilities that require pharmacological treatment, and the second stage where the patient develops problems with the voluntary motor control as a result of the levodopa usage.
Treatment in the first instance seeks to outwit some side- effects that result from improvement of the function of dopamine. Some of these side-effects are the heart throbbing fast, headache, nausea, vomiting, severe allergic reactions such as swelling of the mouth, face, lips and tongue, chest pain, dizziness, pain or redness of the skin.
In the second case, treatment works at reducing symptoms while controlling instabilities of the response to medication.
Surgery and deep brain stimulation methods are employed when these and other drugs are unable to control the disease.
For an excellent diet and lifestyle against Parkinson’s disease one must do these, perform exercises to keep active the muscles, eat and avoid certain foods, avoid certain chemicals such as aluminum, pesticides and herbicides and some medical drugs.
It is necessary for a patient to keep the feet apart when walking. He must endeavor to rest frequently. Inhale and exhale deeply, read aloud to keep the muscles of the mouth active. Swing the arms while walking. Type, write, wash with hands or work with clay, activities that bring exercises to the limps. One must not delay in performing a difficult task such as rising or sitting down.
Eat Fava and Velvet beans all containing high levels of levodopa, anti-oxidants, passionflower, gingko biloba, iron.
