summary

50% ~ 60% of Parkinson's disease patients do not get timely and good treatment, resulting in aggravation of the disease, and finally paralyzed in bed. So, how to treat Parkinson's disease? Let me introduce it to you.

How to treat Parkinson's disease

One: comprehensive treatment: the treatment of Parkinson's disease should take comprehensive treatment, including drug treatment, surgical treatment, rehabilitation treatment, psychotherapy, etc., in which drug treatment is the first choice and the main treatment. At present, the application of treatment, whether drugs or surgery, can only improve symptoms, can not prevent the development of the disease, more can not be cured. Therefore, the treatment can not only consider the present, but not the future. Medication principle: we should adhere to the medication principle of "dose titration", "long flow, no total effect"; medication dose should be "minimum dose to achieve satisfactory effect"; treatment should not only follow the general principle, but also emphasize the individualized characteristics. The medication choice of different patients should not only consider the characteristics of the disease, but also consider the patient's age, employment status, economic affordability and other factors . The goal of drug treatment is to delay the progress of the disease, control symptoms, and extend the duration of symptom control as far as possible, while minimizing the side effects and complications of drugs.

Second: protective treatment: the purpose of protective treatment is to delay the development of the disease and improve the symptoms of patients. In principle, once Parkinson's disease is diagnosed, protective treatment should be carried out as soon as possible.

Third: surgical treatment: it is suitable for patients with upper limb tremor who are difficult to treat and have severe dysfunction. Stereotactic contralateral posterior brain incision may relieve symptoms, but it is not recommended to perform bilateral posterior brain incision because of the risk of dysarthria and pseudobulbar paralysis. The principle is to inhibit the abnormal activity of brain cells and improve symptoms. It can reduce the complications and make the surgical treatment a real choice for patients with advanced Parkinson's disease.

matters needing attention

The onset of Parkinson's disease is slow. If there are tremor, muscle stiffness, posture and gait, dyskinesia and other symptoms in the early stage of Parkinson's disease, the patients and their families should pay attention to it and treat it as soon as possible, so as to avoid the disease developing to an incurable stage. In addition, elderly friends should strengthen nutrition and physical exercise, enhance their own resistance, resist the invasion of disease.
