World Parkinson's Day - April 11
Tue Apr 11th

World Parkinson's Day

Every year, World Parkinson's Day, April 11th, raises concerns about this progressive nervous system disorder. It's also a day to help the general population understand the effects of this disease among those who have it.

According to recent statistics from the Parkinson's Foundation, over ten million people in the world have the disease. Neuron degeneration disorder occurs in the brain when neurons in the brain break down or die. Dopamine levels in the brain decreases as these nerve cells die. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that moves messages from one nerve cell to another. It's called a neurotransmitter. Low dopamine levels cause elevated brain activity, which results in impaired mobility. Tremors are often the first sign of Parkinson's disease, which is why tremors are often the first sign of Parkinson's disease.

The following are some early signs of this disease:

  • Handwriting changes have been made as a result of changes in handwriting
  • Loss of smell
  • Trouble sleeping
  • Stiffness in arms or legs is a characteristic of arms or legs. Legs are not inflexible
  • Constipation
  • Soft or hoarse voice
  • Dizziness
  • Hunched over posture

Just because someone has one of these signs does not mean they have Parkinson's disease. However, if someone has more than one of these signs, they may want to see their physician. When the disease progresses, it can cause dementia, depression, and limited mobility.

Parkinson's Disease is a progressive disease for which there is no cure. However, there are treatment options that can help with the symptoms. Medication is often used to help with certain signs of this disease. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a medical procedure that may also be used by some patients. Electrodes are implanted into the brain during this procedure. Electrical impulses are sent to the brain by these electrodes, which may help reduce symptoms.
