Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease in which the brain cells, neurons are gradually degraded. The loss of neurons that produce a chemical substance called dopamine in the brain results in various symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. When dopamine levels decrease, it causes abnormal brain activity, leading to impaired body movements and other symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
Symptoms of Parkinson’s disease-
Some of the common symptoms include reduction in voluntary movement of the body, tremors in the limbs, stiffness of the body, which causes difficulty in walking and speaking. Initially, these symptoms can be seen in one of the limbs and then progress further. According to specialists of Neuro Care hospital in Jaipur, Parkinson’s disease is observed more in people above the age group of 50 years. As the cell function deteriorates with age, there are high chances that Parkinson’s disease can develop. The cause of Parkinson’s disease cannot be found in most patients. Some people with Parkinson’s experience changes in their cognitive function, including problems with memory, attention, and the ability to plan and accomplish tasks. Stress, depression, and some medications also contribute to these changes in cognition.
Over time, as the disease progresses, some people may develop dementia and be diagnosed with Parkinson’s dementia. People with Parkinson’s dementia may have severe memory and thinking problems that adversely affect daily living.
How is this disease controlled?
The severity of this disease increases with age. There is no cure for this disease but there are some medicines available to control it, which are available at Neuro Care hospital in Jaipur. By controlling the progression, the patient can lead a normal life.
Use of Medicines-
Medicines can help treat the symptoms of Parkinson’s by:
· Increasing the level of dopamine in the brain.
· Having an effect on other brain chemicals, such as neurotransmitters, which transfer information between brain cells.
· Helping control non-movement symptoms.
· Doctors of Neuro Care hospital in Jaipur also prescribes other medicines to treat Parkinson’s symptoms, including:
· Dopamine agonists to stimulate the production of dopamine in the brain.
· Enzyme inhibitors to increase the amount of dopamine by slowing down the enzymes that break down dopamine in the brain.
· Amantadine to help reduce involuntary movements.
· Drugs to reduce tremors and muscle rigidity.
New treatments available-
New treatments include surgery, deep brain stimulation. In Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery, 1.27 mm thick electrodes are implanted in the deep and delicate parts of the brain and are connected to a high-frequency pacemaker. Accuracy in the implantation of electrodes is extremely important, as its tip is in the centre of the brain and any small error or inconsistency can have serious consequences or failure of therapy.
Globally the market for Parkinson’s disease therapeutics is increasing rapidly.
Moreover, the risk of Parkinson’s disease increases with age, and the disease mainly affects a person over 50 years of age.
The global Parkinson’s disease therapeutics market by treatment type is segmented into medication and surgical therapy.
Medication segment is segmented further into dopamine precursors, peripheral decarboxylase inhibitors, COMT inhibitors, MAO inhibitors, and others.
Surgery therapy is further segmented into deep brain stimulation (DBS) and carbidopa/levodopa enteral suspension.On the basis of end-user, the market is categorized into hospitals & clinics, academic & industrial research, and others.On the basis of region, the global Parkinson’s disease therapeutics market is segmented into the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa.The Americas is sub-segmented into North America and South America.
The Asia Pacific region is sub-segmented into Japan, China, India, Australia, the Republic of Korea, and the rest of Asia Pacific.
