It is thought to be genetic in a very small percentage of cases. This is a chronic degenerative disease of the nervous system.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Although it is generally thought of as a disease of old age, (It can also occur in middle age) it can take years or decades to manifest severe symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Currently, <strong>there is no cure for Parkinson&#8217;s disease<\/strong>. Instead,<strong> therapy is directed at treating the symptoms<\/strong> that are most bothersome to an individual with Parkinson&#8217;s disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"> For this reason, there is no standard or &#8220;best&#8221; treatment for Parkinson&#8217;s disease that applies to every patient.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The first stage of treatment for Parkinson&#8217;s is an accurate diagnosis. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">This is tricky, as we have noted, particularly early in the disorder when distinguishing Parkinson&#8217;s disease from other diseases with similar symptoms is particularly difficult. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">It may be helpful to see a neurologist who is experienced with what are called movement disorders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Treatment approaches include medication, surgery, general lifestyle modifications (rest and exercise), physical therapy (UK: Physiotherapy), support groups, occupational therapy, and speech therapy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Levodopa is the most effective drug for the treatment of symptoms of Parkinson&#8217;s disease. It is most effective for reducing difficulties moving all or part of the body (akinesia) and rigidity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">As Parkinson&#8217;s is a very individual condition, medication is prescribed and adapted to individual needs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Response to medication varies from person to person and not every medication will be considered suitable for everyone. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">It is important to discuss appropriate medication or any changes in medication with your healthcare professional.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Using stem cells to treat Parkinson&#8217;s is a realistic possibility. In advancing research, the experts are turning their attention to the stem cells for treating this disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">For the treatment of Parkinson&#8217;s disease, stem cells can regenerate new dopamine cells, repair cell damage, and improve the natural secretion of dopamine, thus helping to improve the clinical symptoms in patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">How to Manage Parkinson&#8217;s Disease?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Recently, stem cell treatment has been increasing as a heated topic for the treatment of Parkinson&#8217;s disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Parkinson&#8217;s disease affects millions of people worldwide and causes much suffering to patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Stem Cell Treatment: A Breakthrough for Treating Parkinson&#8217;s Disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cure for Parkinson&#8217;s Disease Parkinson&#8217;s disease is a progressive, degenerative neurological condition that affects a person&#8217;s control of their body movements.
