Description
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder affecting millions globally. Characterized by the degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain, it leads to motor symptoms like tremors, slowness of movement, rigidity, and balance issues. Non-motor symptoms, such as depression, cognitive impairment, and sleep disturbances, also occur. Although the exact cause remains uncertain, genetics and environmental factors play a role. While no cure exists, treatments like levodopa, deep brain stimulation, and non-pharmacological therapies aim to manage symptoms and enhance the patient's quality of life. Ongoing research seeks to uncover novel therapies and preventive strategies to combat this challenging disease.
