Frequently Asked questions
Parkinson’s disease is a condition that leads to a gradual and long-term degeneration of the central nervous system. It is a type of condition that can cause problems in the motor system and affect movement. The nerve cells in the brain produce a very important chemical known as dopamine, which sends signals to various parts of the brain that help to control movement. It also helps in smooth functioning of the muscles.
When these nerve cells are affected, they are unable to produce dopamine. As a result, the person does not receive the appropriate signals to the brain, and hence there are problems with movement.
Since it is a progressive disease, it gets worse over time, but the stage from initial to worse often happens slowly and takes many years.
In most cases of Parkinson’s disease symptoms, first, start to appear during the 50s or 60s. In very few cases, a person may start showing the symptoms earlier. The main symptoms of Parkinson’s that you can spot in your loved one are:
This means that you can notice an involuntary shaking in the hands, legs or arms of your loved one. Tremors are often one of the earliest symptoms of Parkinson’s, and also the one that is most easily noticeable.
Your loved one will find it difficult to move the limbs, such as the hands or the knee area, and may also experience some pain.
If your loved one has Parkinson’s, he or she will be slow in movement. For instance, they may take more time than usual to walk, as compared to what they required earlier.
This is also a common symptom in those who suffer from Parkinson. Your loved one can have significant trouble with balance as well as walking issues, which will be more obvious when he or she tries to stand up from a sitting down position, or tries to walk without any support.
This often comes at a relatively later stage, by when you will already start to notice the above symptoms in your loved one. As Parkinson’s affects the various muscles in the body, it can cause problems with swallowing and lead to a poor digestive system and constipation.
Some other symptoms that you may notice in your loved one once Parkinson’s disease symptoms have set in and reach towards the later stages are a blank expression, problems with speaking and communication, becoming forgetful and so on.
There are no immediate Parkinson’s disease causes known that can trigger in your loved one. It is believed that in some cases, abnormalities in the genes could cause Parkinson’s. However, there is not enough medical proof yet for the same.
More and more studies are being conducted to prove if Parkinson’s can be caused due to genetic abnormalities. In very few cases, genetic abnormalities have been found within families which may be a cause of the same. However, in most cases, people who suffer from Parkinson’s do not have any identifiable genetic abnormalities.
Some scientists point to the theory that the presence of external and internal toxins can also cause Parkinson’s. These toxins can destroy the cells that produce dopamine, and hence lead to the onset of Parkinson’s. some toxins that may potentially form a threat and trigger conditions that could cause Parkinson’s are carbon monoxide, manganese, carbon disulphide and certain types of pesticides.
This is a type of process in which the free radicals in the body react with the other molecules, such as iron, and try to replace any missing electrons. In people who are healthy, the brain and body is able to get rid of the excessive free radicals, but when a person’s brain and body is not able to do so, it could lead to oxidative stress. This can damage the tissues as well as neurons in the brain and lead to Parkinson’s.
Do note that even if your loved one shows some of the signs of Parkinson’s disease, it is possible that he or she does not have this condition, but is suffering from something else. Here are a few examples of conditions that may have similar symptoms as that of Parkinson’s.
There is no complete cure for Parkinson’s disease treatment yet. Doctors often prescribe various medications to control the symptoms that are associated with the condition. If the symptoms are still too mild, the doctor may in fact ask for a wait-and-watch approach till these start affecting your loved one’s daily life, before prescribing any medication.
When the symptoms get more pronounced, the doctor will prescribe medication. The dosage will vary depending on the severity of the symptoms and how and when it gets worse. Sometimes, a particular medicine may work well for your loved one. At other times, the doctor may need to give a combination of drugs to get the best results.
The medicines used for Parkinson’s disease treatment are most effective during the initial time of use. With regular use, they stop having as much effect but can still have some control over the symptoms.
Here are some of the more common medicines that are prescribed for helping those who are suffering from Parkinson’s.
This is a type of Parkinson’s disease treatment that involves a surgical method. The surgeon will place wires inside your loved one’s brain. These wires will help to transfer small electrical signals to the parts of the brain that help to control movement. If the treatment works, these signals can help the affected parts of the brain to work better.
Till date, there is no medically proven method that can help to prevent the onset of Parkinson’s disease.
However, a combination of the following tips can help to improve your overall brain health and may delay the onset of Parkinson’s.

Here are some types of exercises that your loved one can try:
Looking after a loved one who is suffering from Parkinson’s can be quite a task. Not only will you have to make sure that all medical and care requirements are met on time, you will also have your own things to take care of on a daily basis.
This is where hiring a professional caregiver can help you.
Our specially trained physiotherapist are extremely experienced in caring for those who suffer from various degenerative conditions, such as Parkinson’s, and have mobility issues.
As this is a type of progressive degenerative situation, it is extremely important to plan out the entire day. This will ensure that while your loved one gets enough mobility and activity, there are also enough periods of rest. Our care staff will put together a proper patient care plan that will help in taking care of all aspects of life for your loved one. This will also give the caregiver a good idea of how to proceed in the most effective way.
The caregiver will prepare a routine for daily grooming activities such as brushing, shaving, combing, bathing and the like, so that your loved one can get into a regular schedule. Sometimes, the caregiver may use assisting tools to help with severe mobility issues. For instance, toothbrushes that come with spots to loop in the fingers or electric toothbrushes that make it easier to brush independently can be useful. The caregiver will also assist your loved one in getting in and out of clothes.
Going to the washroom can be difficult when your loved one is suffering from Parkinson’s, as it creates issues with mobility. The caregiver can help by using a bedside toilet or bedpan. Additionally, the caregiver may also help to install safety rails around the commode to make it easier for your loved one to get up from a seated position.
Bathing is also an immensely difficult task for a person who is affected with Parkinson’s. The caregiver will make use of various tools that can assist your loved one. There are various shower chairs that can be used, and sponges that have soaps inside them. These can help your loved one take a bath without help and provide some much needed privacy, even as the caregiver is available to assist.
The caregiver will plan a timetable for meal times and allow enough time for your loved one to eat without trying to chew or swallow fast. The caregiver will also make sure that your loved one sits comfortably and the cutlery is lightweight and easy to use.
Your loved one should get a good amount of rest through the day, as well as during the night. Planning specific periods of rest will allow him or her to take timed rest. This, in turn, will help your loved one to preserve energy and not get unduly exhausted.
