What is Parkinson's Disease?

Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement. It occurs when nerve cells in the brain that produce dopamine, a neurotransmitter essential for smooth muscle movement, become damaged or die. The most common symptoms include tremors, muscle rigidity, bradykinesia (slowness of movement), and postural instability. Parkinson's disease often worsens over time and can also cause cognitive and emotional symptoms, affecting a person’s ability to perform daily activities.

Diagnosis at Felix Hospital

As one of the leading neuro hospitals in Noida, Felix Hospital employs advanced diagnostic tools and a comprehensive approach to diagnosing Parkinson’s disease. Our diagnostic process includes:

• Neurological Exam: To assess motor function, coordination, and reflexes.
• MRI or CT Scan: To rule out other conditions that may mimic Parkinson's disease.
• DaTscan (Dopamine Transporter Imaging): A specialized scan to evaluate the dopamine-producing regions of the brain.
• Blood Tests: To help exclude other causes of symptoms and confirm Parkinson’s diagnosis.

Our neurologists use these diagnostic techniques in conjunction with clinical evaluations to accurately diagnose Parkinson’s disease and create a personalized treatment plan.

 

Conditions Treated at Felix Hospital

At Felix Hospital, we treat a wide range of neurological conditions, including Parkinson’s disease and related movement disorders. Conditions treated include:

• Parkinson’s Disease: A progressive disorder that impairs movement and motor function.
• Essential Tremor: A neurological condition causing involuntary shaking.
• Parkinsonism: A condition that presents similar symptoms to Parkinson’s disease but has different causes.
• Dementia with Lewy Bodies: A type of dementia that shares symptoms with Parkinson's disease.
• Multiple System Atrophy (MSA): A rare neurological disorder affecting movement and autonomic functions.
• Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP): A condition causing problems with balance, movement, and eye movements.
• Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD): A rare condition causing stiffness, difficulty in movement, and cognitive decline.

Our specialists design treatment strategies specific to the condition and work closely with patients to help manage symptoms effectively.

Parkinson's Disease: Medication & Treatment Methods

Treatment for Parkinson's aims to control symptoms and slow progression. They include:

Medications

• Levodopa: Amplifies the levels of dopamine to smooth out movement but loses effect with time.
• Dopamine Agonists: Simulate the effect of dopamine, given to young patients to delay the onset of levodopa treatment.
• Dopamine Metabolism Inhibitors: Inhibits dopamine breakdown to make it last longer.
• Levodopa Metabolism Inhibitors: Prolong levodopa effect but need close monitoring.
• Adenosine Blockers: Augment levodopa therapy by influencing cell function.
• Symptom-Specific Medications: Fix depression, sleep disorder, anxiety, constipation, and dementia.

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)

An implanted device sends electrical impulses to underperforming brain regions, enhancing symptoms when drugs do not work. DBS is reversible and an option of last resort for more severe cases.

Experimental Treatments

Current research tests new methods that include:

• Stem Cell Therapy: Replacing with new dopamine-releasing neurons.
• Neuron Repair Therapies: Inducing brain cell replacement.
• Gene Therapies: Fixing inherited genetic mutations and improving existing treatments.
