What is Parkinson’s Disease?
Parkinson’s disease is a chronic progressive neurological disorder that affects movement. It results from the degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain, causing tremors, rigidity, slowness, and balance issues.
Causes of Parkinson’s Disease
- Genetic mutations
- Environmental toxins (e.g., pesticides)
- Oxidative stress
- Age-related neuronal degeneration
Clinical Features
- Resting tremor (usually one hand or limb)
- Bradykinesia (slowness of movement)
- Muscle rigidity
- Postural instability
- Shuffling gait
- Facial masking (reduced facial expression)
- Micrographia (small handwriting)
- Soft or monotonous speech
Diagnosis
Parkinson’s is diagnosed clinically based on symptoms and neurological examination. Imaging like MRI may be used to rule out other conditions. DaTscan can help in ambiguous cases but is not always necessary.
Differential Diagnosis
- Essential Tremor
- Drug-induced Parkinsonism
- Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP)
- Multiple System Atrophy (MSA)
Medical Treatment
- Levodopa/Carbidopa
- Dopamine agonists (e.g., pramipexole, ropinirole)
- MAO-B inhibitors (e.g., selegiline)
- Amantadine
- Deep Brain Stimulation (in selected cases)
