Keywords:
Parkinson's disease, dopamine, central nervous system, treatment, prevention, neurodegeneration, deep brain stimulation, motor symptoms, non-motor symptoms, quality of life.Abstract
This article is devoted to Parkinson's disease, its causes, and treatment methods [1, 2, 5]. Parkinson's disease is a chronic degenerative disorder of the central nervous system, primarily caused by dopamine deficiency [3, 4, 10]. The disease usually develops gradually and manifests through symptoms such as tremors, muscle stiffness, and slowed movements [1, 6, 9]. The article analyzes the factors contributing to the development of Parkinson's disease, including genetic predisposition, environmental factors, and neurochemical changes [2, 4, 7]. In addition, information about pharmacological therapy, physiotherapy, deep brain stimulation, and lifestyle-based preventive measures is provided [7, 8, 10]. The study aims to improve early diagnosis, reduce symptoms, and enhance patients' quality of life [3, 6, 8]. The article may be useful for neurologists, general practitioners, and healthcare professionals [1, 5, 9].
