Disease
Parkinson and her symptoms
Pathological process that occurs in
the body looks like this: irreversible changes are happening in the brain
Cellular level. 70% of neurons of certain brain sites are dying, in their place
other types of cells appear. They brake the work of nerve cells that answer
for movement and emotions. Simply put, Parkinson's disease — This is a transmission violation
nerve impulses in various parts of the body responsible for movement and
Emotional sphere. What causes the death of nerve cells, just say
Modern medicine can not.
The main symptoms of the disease:
- tremor;
- hypokinesia;
- Muscular
rigidity; - Postural
instability; - Vegetative
disorders; - Psychic
disorders.
Tremor, or trembling, — The main symptom in illness
Parkinson. He arises in the hands of resting, gradually
Spreading to the feet. Some patients have a head tremor, eyelids,
Language and lower jaw. Rare cases when tremor is observed in the whole body.

Movement. The patient may unexpected «Thoroughly» at a certain time, right up to
several hours. Patient Covan, observed face mask with a frozen look,
deprived of any mimici. This is called «Pose of mannequin». After activity
gradually returns, movements still slowed down: the patient goes carefully
Small steps, demonstrating «Puppet gait». Hands pressed to the body,
Mechanical movements, facial people are present, but with a delay, disappearing
Gradually, speech is devoid of emotions — Monotonous and bloody. When progressing
disease slowing the reactions leads to complete immobility.
Muscular rigidity — This is the same amplification

Position — «Wax flexibility». When performing any flexor-extensive
Actions observed stepped movements — «Symptom of gear». After
any activity limb is in no hurry to return to its original position,
Footing for a while at a certain position.

How
Treat Parkinson's disease
At the moment, modern medicine is not capable
cure the disease and only acts symptomatically, alleviating the symptoms
Diseases. The following methods of treating Parkinson's disease are proposed:
- Drug
therapy — aims to reduce movement problems; - Surgical
Treatment of destructive nature: Apply when the main symptom — Tremor, B
34% of cases — persistent complications; - Neuroelectrostimulation
— Electric current stimulates the brain areas responsible for movement; - genetic
Therapy using stem cells — not has widespread use in mind
Insufficient learning.
