Treatment of Parkinson's disease, treatment according to the condition

Parkinson's disease seriously endangers the health of many elderly people, so timely treatment of this disease is still necessary. The main treatments for this disease include drug treatment, surgical treatment, acupuncture treatment and surgical treatment. You can choose the most appropriate treatment method according to the patient's actual condition.

1. Drug treatment : In the early stages of the disease, drugs can improve symptoms very well. The most commonly used and effective drug is levodopa preparation (trade name: Madopa or Sinime), which has been used in clinical treatment since the 1960s and has been the most core drug in clinical practice until now. The drug must be taken for a long time. Once the treatment is stopped, the disease will relapse.

2. Surgical treatment: There are mainly two methods: nerve nucleus cell destruction surgery (cytokine) and electrical stimulation surgery. The principle is to inhibit the abnormal activity of brain cells to achieve the purpose of improving symptoms. The former is to create a lesion with a diameter of about 3 mm on the abnormally active nerve nucleus, while the latter is to implant a stimulator to achieve a similar lesion effect through high-frequency electrical stimulation.

3. Acupuncture treatment: Acupuncture treatment is mainly used to extinguish tremors and wind. Commonly used acupoints for body acupuncture are Si Shencong, Fengchi, Quchi, Hegu, Yanglingquan, Taixi, etc. Acupoints can be added or subtracted according to symptoms. The needles are retained for about 30 to 50 minutes, and the best course of treatment is 10 to 15 days.

4. Radiation therapy : To relieve Parkinson's tremors, you can use your thumbs to massage the diaphragm and the corresponding areas of the solar meridian. Massaging the brain and spinal cord areas helps stabilize the nervous system.
