According to the Parkinson’s Foundation Association, it is estimated that 10 million people all over the world fight against the disease. Although it affects people of all ages, the main affected are more than 60 years old.
In conversation with the EarthDr. Ana Rita Donati, physiatrist doctor Aacd, Parkinson’s signals classified as engines and not goals, as changes in pressure control, in the cardiovascular system, in the quality of mood and sleep, which are often confused with other problems.
Among the non -motor symptoms, what attracts more attention to Parkinsonon is the difficulty in the smell. Given this scenario, the diagnosis of the disease occurs only when it begins to influence the physical side and influence the patient’s daily life.
“We can only diagnose Parkinson’s when he begins to have symptoms that are tremor, postural instability, walking with his body inclined forward, the reduction of the speed of the movement and rigidity. Therefore, after starting to open this physical picture he will disturb and that he will make, therefore we can give the diagnosis. Specialist.
According to the doctor’s explanation, Parkinson’s is a malformation of the alpha-Sinuclein protein, which in the end deposits itself in an area of the brain called black substance.
This movement is harmful to the formation of dopamine, important for the control of the motor movement that has interaction with other neurotransmitters.
Even with the defined process, there is no specific cause for the disease. In some specific situations in young people, however, Dr. Ana Rita Donati highlights the genetic component as a possible factor, although this line is still under study.
“We do not consider this as hereditary in most cases. It is only for these rarer cases. You can be the first person that the disease will have. So, the fact that you have no parkinson’s history in your family, does not mean that it protects you”, continues.
Diagnosis and treatment for Parkinson’s
To diagnose Parkinson’s, doctors need a long analysis. Immediately, a detailed clinical evaluation suspects experts. If the question continues, a pharmacological test is performed.
According to Dr. Ana Rita Donati Protopa, the extension of the drug is used in an initial treatment. In case of improvement, it means that the patient really has Parkinson’s, since other diseases that can be confused do not answer him well.
To put an end to any doubt, image exams are made to discard cases of stroke and tumors, which can have similar symptoms: “do the resonance for you to make a study on that anatomical area, but will not give the diagnosis, the diagnosis is clinical”.
With diagnosis in hand, the patient can start treatment. The most common is pharmacological, with drugs for the production of dopamine. Although he does not care, Parkinson could have his very reduced progression with medical assistance.
In some specific cases, Dr. Ana Rita Donati Proropa indicates a more complex option: “It has a type of deep brain stimulation, which is like a brain pacemaker, which exists. It has a good result, but is intended only for some selected patients. Because it is surgery, it is more complex and has some factors, inclusion criteria. Dopamine, it is mandatory for all patients.”
