What are the available treatments for Parkinson's symptoms?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern.

Undoubtedly, family support is a crucial factor in the management of Parkinson's disease (PD). The mainstay of the PD treatment is a drug that is called Levodopa. PD is a result of decreased dopamine production in the brain, and L-dopa is an external substitute for this deficiency. I am sure that your father-in-law's physician has prescribed Levodopa treatment for him. However, there are other concomitant conditions that bother PD patients, including cognitive problems, constipation, depression, sleep problems, and impotence. I suggest you to be vigilant about these possible collateral problems in him. In case of their occurrence, inform his physician for proper decision-making. There is not any significant diet or lifestyle change to be recommended. There is evidence that daily exercise with a stationary bicycle may help to preserve some motor performance in PD patients, if be applicable considering their general health and cardiopulmonary function. I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.
