Parkinson's Disease Treatment in New Delhi

Expert diagnosis and personalized treatment by a DrNB Neurology specialist.

Overview

Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement due to the gradual loss of dopamine-producing brain cells. It typically causes tremor, slowness, stiffness and balance changes, and may also affect sleep, mood and memory.

While there is no cure yet, modern treatment can control symptoms effectively for many years. A combination of medication, physiotherapy, lifestyle measures and — in selected cases — advanced therapies such as deep brain stimulation can preserve independence and quality of life.

Symptoms

Resting tremor, usually starting in one hand
Slowness of movement (bradykinesia)
Muscle stiffness or rigidity
Small, cramped handwriting
Soft, monotone speech
Shuffling gait and reduced arm swing
Loss of facial expression
Sleep disturbance and constipation

Causes

Loss of Dopamine Neurons

Progressive degeneration in a brain area called the substantia nigra.

Genetic Factors

A small proportion of cases have a clear inherited basis.

Environmental Exposure

Long-term pesticide or heavy-metal exposure has been linked.

Ageing

Risk rises with age, though young-onset Parkinson's also exists.

Head Injury

Repeated head trauma increases long-term risk.

Unknown Triggers

In most patients, no single cause is identifiable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Parkinson's itself is not directly fatal. With good care most patients live a normal lifespan, though advanced complications need active management.

Diagnosis is clinical, based on detailed examination by a neurologist. MRI and other tests may be done to rule out other causes.

No. Essential tremor is far more common and behaves differently. Careful examination distinguishes the two.

DBS is a surgical option for selected patients with advanced symptoms, providing significant relief when medications alone are not enough.
