How much does it cost to treat Parkinson's disease
Cost reference 1: different drugs are used to treat Parkinson's disease, and the cost is also different. At present, the cause of Parkinson's disease is not clear in medicine, so there is no particularly effective treatment. Now the treatment of Parkinson's disease in western medicine is mainly drug treatment and surgical treatment. The most effective drug is called duomeiba or Xining. This kind of drug needs long-term use, and can't be stopped. Once the drug is stopped, the disease will easily relapse.
Cost reference 2: the effect of this kind of drugs will be very obvious at the beginning, but like many other drugs, after long-term treatment, you will find that the human body will produce antibodies to this drug, and its effective time will be shortened. In addition to drug treatment, it is surgical treatment.
Cost reference 3: surgical treatment is neural stem cell transplantation, theoretically speaking, the development prospect of this surgical treatment is very good, but it is still in the experimental stage, and needs more clinical research. And surgical treatment is still required for patients, only primary Parkinson's disease patients are suitable for surgical treatment.
matters needing attention
So far, there are only two ways to treat Parkinson's disease. Because it is a long-term chronic disease, the cost of either surgical treatment or drug treatment will not be particularly low, especially the cost of surgical treatment is relatively high. However, different hospitals have different charging standards. No matter how much it costs, as long as the condition can improve, it is worth it.
