Currently, there is no cure for Parkinson's disease, but medications can help manage symptoms. Parkinson's medications primarily fall into two categories: ● Levodopa: Levodopa is a precursor to dopamine, meaning it can cross the blood-brain barrier and convert into dopamine in the brain. It is the most effective medication for Parkinson's, significantly improving motor symptoms. ● Dopamine agonists: These medications directly stimulate dopamine receptors in the brain, mimicking the effects of dopamine. They are typically used when levodopa is ineffective or causes intolerable side effects. Side Effects of Medication: Parkinson's medications are generally safe but can have side effects. The most common include: ● Nausea and vomiting: These side effects often occur early in levodopa treatment and can be mitigated by adjusting the dosage or taking the medication with food. ● Movement disorders: These are involuntary movements, including dyskinesias (uncontrolled, involuntary movements), dystonia (muscle spasms and contractions), and chorea (jerky, involuntary movements). Dyskinesias are the most common movement disorder associated with Parkinson's medications, typically occurring with high doses of levodopa or dopamine agonists. ● Psychiatric disturbances: These include hallucinations, delusions, and depression. They are more common in older adults or those with a history of psychiatric illness. On-Off Effect Long-term use of dopamine medications for Parkinson's can lead to a decreased response, requiring a temporary discontinuation of the medication. However, this can cause symptoms to reappear, necessitating further medication to regain control. This cycle is known as the "on-off effect." Many individuals experience a significant disruption to their lives, constantly juggling time between home and hospital visits, with their condition remaining poorly controlled. In these cases, surgical treatment should be considered. #ParkinsonsDisease #MedicationSideEffects #DrWuPeiHan #StemCellTherapy #GammaKnife See more about surgery: ⭐ PresurgMedia Official Website｜https://presurg.cc/UaLLoS ⭐ Line｜https://presurg.cc/PaLLgN ⭐ Facebook｜https://presurg.cc/BaLLPL ⭐ Instagram｜https://presurg.cc/YaLLPm ＊Unauthorized reproduction, distribution, modification, adaptation, republication, or creation of derivative works of all or any part of the content of this channel's videos is prohibited for any commercial purposes.
