Parkinson's disease is a chronic neurological condition which causes the brain to get damaged over the years. The main symptoms of parkinson's disease include tremors where there is shaking of parts of the body. The body movement is slowed down and the gait of the affected person changes. The muscles loose mobility and become stiff and inflexible. Dopamine is a chemical that is produced in the brain that gives and receives signals from different parts of the brain to ensure coordination. A region known as the substantia nigra produces dopamine. In parkinson’s there is an accumulation of the alpha-synuclein protein in this region of the brain effecting the production of dopamine. There has been some studies that indicate that this is a result of a genetic predisposition. Antiparkinsonian medications can be prescribed when they provide good symptom control for a period of three to six years.
