The results of the outpatient clinic show that the number of Parkinson's disease patients under the age of 50 is increasing, and young patients in their 30s are not uncommon, even in their teens. Parkinson's disease clinic data shows that "juvenile Parkinson's disease" patients account for 15% of the total number of patients with the disease. It is understood that the incidence of Parkinson's disease in China is 1.7%, and there are more than 3 million Parkinson's patients in China.

To ease the progression of Parkinson's disease, early diagnosis is very important!

1. About 70% of patients with resting tremor have tremor as the first symptom, which mostly starts at the distal end of one upper extremity. It appears or becomes obvious at rest, relieves or stops during voluntary movement, intensifies when nervous, and disappears after falling asleep. Resting tremor in the hand is aggravated by walking. The typical manifestation is a "pill-rolling" tremor with a frequency of 4 to 6 Hz. Some patients may have a postural tremor.

2. Parkinson's myotonia can be relieved by appropriate rehabilitation training and certain drug treatment. Patients with Parkinson's myotonia often present with tremors and stiffness, mainly to improve the patient's stiffness, and take medicines reasonably according to the doctor's advice. For patients with advanced Parkinson's disease, it is necessary to strengthen nursing care and pay attention to giving patients more muscle massage, more joint activities, and more. To turn the patient over and pat the back, it is usually necessary to carry out appropriate rehabilitation training to relieve the feeling of muscle contracture.

3. Bradykinesia refers to a slowing of movements, difficulty in starting, and reduction of active movement, and the patient's range of movement will be reduced, especially during repetitive movements. Depending on the affected part, bradykinesia can be manifested in many aspects. Decreased facial expressions and movements, reduced blinking is called mask face, monotonous and low voice, unclear articulation, writing can be slow and small, called "lowercase sign", washing, dressing, and other fine movements can be clumsy and inaccurate. Flexible, the walking speed becomes slower, the arm swing will gradually decrease, or even disappear, the stride becomes smaller, and salivation occurs due to the inability to actively swallow, or even the inability to swallow saliva, etc.

4. Postural and gait disorders The disappearance of postural reflexes often occurs in the middle and late stages of the disease. It is difficult for patients to maintain their balance, and it is possible to fall on a slightly uneven road surface. The examiner stands behind the patient and asks the patient to stretch his shoulders when ready. A normal person can return to a normal upright position within one step back. Patients with loss of postural reflex often have to take more than three steps back or need someone to help them to stand upright. People with Parkinson's disease often walk faster and faster, which is called a panicked gait.

5. Non-motor symptoms In addition to motor symptoms such as tremors and slowness of movement, patients with Parkinson's disease can also experience non-motor symptoms such as constipation, fatigue, depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, and behavioral disorders. The average non-motor symptoms of each patient are even Up to ten or more. Patients often do not feel that these symptoms are part of Parkinson's disease and go to other departments.

How to slow down the onset of the disease?

1. A reasonable diet helps the drug to work better. Diet can affect the control effect of Parkinson's treatment drugs on symptoms. For example, a high-protein diet can limit the body's absorption of levodopa. As a result, some doctors recommend that patients limit their daily protein intake to less than 12 percent of all calories consumed for the day. Reminder, Parkinson's disease patients should take the drug 1 hour before meals and 1.5 hours after meals.

2. When eating, people with masticatory and swallowing dysfunction should choose foods that are easy to chew, easy to swallow, high in nutrition, and high in fiber. Let them swallow the excess saliva in the mouth when eating, move the food around with the tongue when chewing, eat less at a time, eat slowly, drink water after meals, and swallow the remaining food to prevent aspiration pneumonia.

3. Prevention of infection Because patients with this disease are prone to bronchitis or pneumonia, they should be treated immediately when cough or fever occurs, so as to avoid serious infection.

4. Prevention of constipation Parkinson's disease patients are often accompanied by autonomic damage and are prone to constipation. On the basis of a light diet, they should eat more crude fiber foods and fruits with laxative effects such as watermelon and bananas. Encourage patients to increase physical activity, drink enough water, add fibrous substances such as vegetables to their daily diet, and use laxatives when necessary or compelled.

How to properly treat Parkinson's and effectively avoid the side effects of western medicine

Now the medical treatment of Parkinson's disease has made great progress and has an irreplaceable status, but there are also many drawbacks. In the long-term practice of traditional Chinese medicine, it has accumulated rich experience in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. How to correctly understand the status, function, and characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of Parkinson's disease will be conducive to the organic combination of the two medical methods and improve the therapeutic effect.

Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history, broad content, and is a subject with the theoretical, scientific, and clinical application; this subject has far-reaching influence on the world, and now Western countries have recognized the scientific and practical value of traditional Chinese medicine, and established licensing systems and The examination system shows that traditional Chinese medicine in the motherland is effective and reliable in the treatment of diseases.

For the treatment of Parkinson's disease, drugs are always irreplaceable. Many Parkinson's patients even need to take drugs for a long time. A reasonable and correct way plays a pivotal role in Parkinson's patients. Through the field experience of treating Parkinson's patients by Xiao Twenty, it is concluded that "Wulong Tremor Decoction" has a good inhibitory effect on the treatment of Parkinson's patients, and in the process of taking drug treatment, it can be well avoided. The side effects caused by western medicine, the disease control effect will be more stable.

If we want to use traditional Chinese medicine to treat Parkinson's disease, it is very important to perform syndrome differentiation. In the process of treating Parkinson's disease with traditional Chinese medicine, we need to conduct effective communication and diagnosis with the patient in order to determine the specific adjustment plan, and the treatment is based on the patient's condition. , carry out targeted conditioning treatment for one person and one side, and set up a corresponding treatment plan"! The methods that can be used generally include face-to-face consultation in Beijing and online video!
