Tremor in Parkinson's Disease

Tremor Symptoms and Treatment Methods in Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the gradual loss of dopamine-producing cells in the brain. One of the most common symptoms is tremor, which can significantly affect patients' daily lives. As Robotic Rehabilitation Center, we offer various treatment methods to relieve tremor symptoms caused by Parkinson's disease and improve quality of life.

Symptoms of Tremor
The first symptom in the majority of Parkinson's patients is involuntary tremors, which usually begin in one hand or arm. Tremors may be more noticeable at rest and may increase with stress or excitement. Other common symptoms include muscle stiffness, slow movements, and difficulties with balance and walking. As the difficulties patients face at home or work increase, it becomes important to seek professional help.

Treatment Methods

Drug Treatment: Drugs that constitute the basic treatment of Parkinson's disease aim to control tremors and other symptoms by increasing dopamine levels or stimulating dopamine receptors. The most appropriate drug combination is determined according to the patient's condition and side effects.

Physical Therapy: Physical therapy creates individual exercise programs to increase patients' flexibility, maintain muscle strength and improve coordination. Special therapies can be applied for balance and walking problems.

Exercise and Movement Therapies: Disciplines such as yoga, pilates and Tai Chi can help Parkinson's patients manage their symptoms by increasing body awareness and strengthening muscle groups. Additionally, this type of movement therapy can also positively affect mental flexibility and mood.

Surgical Interventions: In advanced cases, in cases of severe tremors that do not respond to drug treatment, surgical interventions may be recommended. One of the most common surgical treatment methods is Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), which aims to relieve symptoms by sending electrical impulses to specific brain areas.

Supportive Therapies: Supportive treatments such as speech therapy, nutritional counseling and occupational therapy are also critical in improving the quality of life of Parkinson's patients.
