Neurology
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting movement, characterized by tremors, stiffness, and impaired balance. Other movement disorders encompass conditions like essential tremor and dystonia. These disorders result from disruptions in the brain's control of voluntary movements, impacting quality of life. Treatment options include medications, physical therapy, and in severe cases, surgical interventions like deep brain stimulation.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective covering of nerve fibers. This leads to communication disruptions between the brain and the rest of the body, causing varied symptoms such as fatigue, numbness, and difficulty walking. MS has unpredictable progression patterns, and management involves medications to modify the course of the disease, symptom relief, and rehabilitation therapies to improve functionality.
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline, memory loss, and behavioral changes. It primarily affects older adults, causing brain cell damage that impairs communication between neurons. There is currently no cure for Alzheimer's, and treatment focuses on managing symptoms through medications, lifestyle modifications, and support for caregivers. Research is ongoing to understand the underlying causes and develop interventions to slow or prevent the disease's progression.
