    Advanced Neurological Solutions for Parkinson's Disease

    Turkish hospitals are widely respected for their developed medical infrastructure, particularly in the field of neurology and neurosurgery.

    These institutions are home to highly advanced neurology departments that specialize in diagnosing and treating complex neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease.

    Facilities are equipped with cutting-edge imaging systems, including MRI, PET, and DaTSCAN, which are essential for accurate diagnosis and monitoring of neurodegenerative diseases.

    For patients requiring surgical intervention, hospitals also feature specialized neurosurgical operating theaters equipped with the latest in intraoperative imaging and navigation technologies.

    Intro to Parkinson's Disease

    Parkinson’s disease is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects the dopaminergic neurons in a region of the brain called the substantia nigra.

    As these neurons gradually degenerate and dopamine levels decline, patients experience a wide array of symptoms that progressively impact their daily lives.

    The condition typically develops slowlyThe hallmark motor symptoms include:

    • Tremors, often beginning in the hands or fingers

    • Muscle rigidity and stiffness

    • Bradykinesia, or slowness of movement

    Medication Management

    This is the cornerstone of Parkinson’s treatment. It involves adjusting dosages and types of medications.

    These include Levodopa, dopamine agonists, and MAO-B inhibitors. They help manage motor symptoms.

    Ideal for: Most patients with Parkinson’s disease, especially in early to moderate stages.

    Deep Brain Stimulation

    A neurosurgical procedure where electrodes are implanted in specific brain areas.

    These electrodes deliver electrical impulses. This helps regulate abnormal brain activity and reduce motor symptoms.

    Ideal for: Patients with advanced Parkinson’s whose motor symptoms are no longer well-controlled by medication, or who experience severe dyskinesia.

    Physical Therapy

    Specialized exercises and techniques improve balance, gait, flexibility, and strength. It helps maintain mobility and reduce the risk of falls.

    Ideal for: All patients with Parkinson’s disease, as an essential part of symptom management.

    Speech Therapy

    Addresses speech and swallowing difficulties.

    These techniques improve vocal loudness and clarity. Swallowing exercises reduce aspiration risk.

    Ideal for: Patients experiencing voice changes, slurred speech, or swallowing difficulties (dysphagia).

    Occupational Therapy

    Focuses on adapting daily tasks and environments.

    It helps patients maintain independence in activities like eating, dressing, and personal hygiene.

    Ideal for: All patients with Parkinson’s disease, to enhance functional independence.
