Introduction to the treatment of Parkinson’s disease

  This is the basic treatment of Parkinson’s disease, the main drugs are as follows: 1, levodopa drugs: such as methotrexate, Xanax 2, dopamine receptor agonists: such as Tysudar, Senfro 3, anticholinergic drugs: such as Antan 4, antihistamines: such as amantadine 5, monoamine oxidase B inhibitors: such as Silangilan 6, catecholamine oxygen methyltransferase inhibitors: such as Kodan 7, neurological There are many different kinds of drugs for Parkinson’s disease, and there are also a lot of instructions on how and when to use them. You need to take the above drugs as prescribed by your doctor, and you need to follow up regularly and adjust the way you take the drugs to achieve better results in response to the progress of the disease, as well as to avoid serious side effects of the drugs.  Surgical treatment (deep brain electrical stimulation), commonly known as “brain pacemaker” treatment, has become a conventional treatment for mid- to late-stage Parkinson’s disease. Since the introduction of this treatment in China in 1999, nearly 1500 patients have been treated. Pacemaker has been a special treatment of Changhai Hospital for many years.  Pacemaker is a kind of neuromodulation therapy, which distributes weak electrical impulses to stimulate the relevant “nuclei” in the brain of Parkinson’s disease patients, such as the nucleus accumbens or the pallidum, so that patients’ symptoms such as tremor, rigidity and motor retardation can be effectively controlled, and the duration of drug action can be prolonged and the dosage of drugs can be reduced. The side effects of the drug are also reduced. The shape is very similar to that of a pacemaker, which is a matchbox-sized pulse generator (main unit) connected to two electrodes with a diameter of only 1.2 mm (the thickness of a ball-point pen). The whole system is hidden inside the body, which is almost invisible and does not affect your daily work and life.  For example, walking is a good exercise. If possible, try to maintain the habit of walking every day. Dancing is another good exercise, or other less strenuous activities. But no matter what kind of exercise, do not force yourself, if the exercise to a certain stage, feel yourself a little tired, stop to rest. In addition, not only to engage in physical exercise, but also to often use the brain: for example, play quizzes or play a little game can be.  Ask your doctor what exercises are suitable for you, and if not, he or she can offer you some advice. When you first start exercising, do not rush it, but take it slowly and gradually, increasing the intensity, remembering not to exercise vigorously, and stopping to rest as soon as you feel unwell.  Sometimes the hospital will organize some lectures for Parkinson’s patients, and these lectures will have special sessions to teach patients some simple rehabilitation exercises, so you can pay attention to the information of the hospital.  Fourth, psychological treatment Parkinson’s patients are prone to anxiety, depression or emotional instability, according to research, about 25-61% of Parkinson’s disease patients with depressive symptoms. The causes are twofold. The first is psychogenic, which means that the depression is caused by the patient’s excessive worry about his or her disease. The first is psychogenic, meaning that the depressed mood is caused by excessive worry about the disease. This condition tends to decrease or disappear as the symptoms improve with treatment. The other condition is somatic, which means that even if the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease improve significantly, the patient’s mood does not get better or even worsens, which requires antidepressant treatment.
