Why choose SGVP Holistic Hospital for Parkinson’s Disease Treatment in Ahmedabad?

What is Parkinson’s Disease?

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological condition where a part of the brain deteriorates, leading to severe symptoms over time.

It occurs due to the degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons in a brain region, called the substantia nigra. Without enough dopamine, brain signaling involved in coordination and movement gets disrupted.

The condition commonly leads to slowed movements, balance problems, and tremors. It can also affect a person’s mental health, thinking ability, and overall well-being.

The disease generally evolves gradually, with initial symptoms often mistaken for signs of aging. However, timely intervention can delay the disease progression, reduce complications, and help maintain independence for several years.

SGVP Holistic Hospital offers the best Parkinson’s treatment in Ahmedabad using a personalized approach to ensure the general health and well-being of patients affected by the disease.

Types of Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease can primarily be classified into the following different types:

Idiopathic Parkinson's disease

It is the most common type and generally known as Parkinson’s disease. It usually develops after 60 years of age. Its exact cause is largely unknown, though genetic and environmental factors are thought to play a role in its development.

Familial Parkinson's disease

Atypical Parkinsonian disorders or Parkinson's-plus syndromes

Other types

Causes and Risk Factors for Parkinson’s Disease

The exact cause of Parkinson’s disease remains unknown. However, it commonly occurs due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Several underlying mechanisms are thought to be responsible for the development of the condition, including:

Genetic mutations
Protein misfolding (accumulation of the alpha-synuclein protein in the form of Lewy bodies that disrupts brain cell function and communication)
Mitochondrial dysfunction & Neuroinflammation

Several risk factors are considered to increase the likelihood of developing Parkinson’s disease, including the following:

Age above 60 years
More common in men than women
Family history of Parkinson’s disease
Long-term exposure to toxins like pesticides, herbicides, or industrial chemicals
Head trauma or repeated head injuries

Understanding these causes and risk factors helps in the early identification of Parkinson’s disease and potential prevention strategies, especially for individuals at a higher risk.

Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease

The symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease can be divided into motor-related and non-motor symptoms.

Motor-related symptoms

These are movement-related symptoms and may include the following:

Tremors when the muscles are at rest
Slow movements (bradykinesia)
Muscle stiffness or rigidity
Unstable walking gait or posture
Small or cramped handwriting
Drooling
Mask-like expression on the face
Blinking less than usual
Trouble swallowing (dysphagia)
Unusually soft voice (hypophonia)

Non-motor symptoms

Parkinson’s Disease Diagnosis

There is no specific test that can help diagnose Parkinson’s disease. However, doctors can diagnose the condition based on the patient’s symptoms, medical history, a neurological exam, and the recommendation of certain tests to rule out other neurological conditions causing similar symptoms.

The commonly recommended tests include:

Neurological examination: The doctor evaluates the patient’s muscle tone, reflexes, gait, balance, and movement patterns.
Medical history review: The doctor will assess the symptom onset, progression, and any family history of neurological disorders.
Dopamine transporter or DAT scan: It is a brain imaging test used to assess dopamine transporter activity and distinguish Parkinson’s disease from other conditions.
MRI scan and CT scan: These tests are performed to rule out structural issues such as tumors, strokes, or hydrocephalus.
Blood tests: They help exclude conditions like thyroid dysfunction or vitamin deficiencies that can mimic Parkinsonian symptoms.
Genetic testing: This test is recommended in select cases, especially if there is a strong family history or early-onset Parkinson’s disease, to detect known gene mutations.

Treatment Procedure for Parkinson’s Disease at SGVP Holistic Hospital in Ahmedabad

At SGVP Holistic Hospital, we offer tailored treatment for Parkinson’s in Ahmedabad based on the patient’s condition and diagnostic test results.

Although there is no cure for Parkinson’s disease, the following treatment options can help manage the symptoms associated with the condition:

Medications

Levodopa: It is the most common and effective medication for Parkinson’s disease, as it helps replenish the dopamine levels in the brain. It is generally combined with carbidopa to reduce its side effects.
Dopamine agonists: These medications mimic the effects of dopamine in the brain.
MAO-B inhibitors: These drugs slow down the breakdown of dopamine, increasing its availability in the brain.
COMT inhibitors: These medicines also help to increase the amount of dopamine available in the brain.
Anticholinergics: These medicines can help reduce tremors and muscle rigidity.
