Health starts with stepping out of misconceptions

Trembling ≠ Parkinson's disease

Shake your hand and you'll get Parkinson's disease? Many people easily equate tremor with Parkinson's disease. It is often found that children in their teens experience hand tremors after intense exercise or nervousness. Parents may panic and take their children to see a doctor, exclaiming that their child has Parkinson's disease and requesting medical help, but in fact, it is an idiopathic tremor.

Tan Yuhui, Chief Physician of the Neurology Department of the People's Hospital of the Autonomous Region, pointed out in a media interview that some diseases are not Parkinson's disease, but have similar manifestations, such as tremors in patients with hyperthyroidism, and some are secondary Parkinson's syndrome rather than primary Parkinson's disease. For example, in cases of infection, medication, carbon monoxide poisoning, cerebral arteriosclerosis, etc., people may experience secondary tremors similar to Parkinson's symptoms. So, shaking hands doesn't necessarily mean Parkinson's disease. Experts suggest that if you experience limb tremors, it is essential to consult a specialist promptly. You should not turn a blind eye, let alone panic.

"We have encountered some Parkinson's patients who were misdiagnosed as cervical spondylosis or lumbar spondylosis and underwent passive surgery." Tan Yuhua explained that some patients do not show obvious signs of leg and foot inflexibility, but instead show obvious signs of nonmotortor disorders, such as depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, memory decline, loss of smell, etc. These people are often diagnosed with depression and anxiety, but the effect of taking medication according to this treatment is not good. Research has shown that the incidence of nonmotor symptoms in Parkinson's patients is as high as 100%, with sleep disorders, depression, and cognitive impairment being the most common. In addition, Parkinson's disease is often misdiagnosed as a variety of diseases such as brain atrophy and cerebral thrombosis, and some patients are misdiagnosed as "mental illness" and abandoned for a long time.

Often mistaken for senile dementia

30% -40% of Parkinson's patients do not experience hand tremors in the early stages. It only manifests as slow movement, inflexibility of hands and feet, stiffness of limbs, expressionless face, etc., often mistaken for "dementia", "daydreaming", and even some male patients are misunderstood as "not serious" due to lack of facial expression and prolonged staring at others. Due to the early onset of these Parkinson's disease patients accompanied by so-called "nonmotor symptoms of Parkinson's disease" such as tension, worry, restlessness, and insomnia, they are sometimes treated as senile dementia by doctors and family members in the early stages.

Traditional Chinese Medicine's Understanding of Parkinson's Symptoms and Signs

The typical tremor of Parkinson's disease is static tremor, which often starts from one upper limb and can affect the limbs, jaw, lips, tongue, and neck. 4-6 times per second, with varying amplitude and exacerbation of mental stress.

Ankylosis - Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that "blood does not nourish tendons"

Myotonia is seen in all patients with Parkinson's disease, characterized by increased tension of the extrapyramidal gear-like muscles, and more pronounced rigidity of the scapular and pelvic girdle muscles.

Slowing down exercise - Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "blood does not nourish the tendons, and muscles and muscles become tight."

The patient's voluntary movement is reduced, including difficulty in starting and slow movements. When performing repetitive actions, both amplitude and speed gradually decrease.
