What Is The Cure For Parkinson S Disease?
My cousin, aged 39, is suffering from Parkinsons disease, for the past six years. This has restricted movement and control of his right hand and legs. Who would be the best doctor in India? He has become very depressive and also suffers pain in the limbs, neck and head. Is there a cure? What should we do?

Hello,
Was your cousin's, diagnosed from Parkinson's disease by a neurologist. What are the symptoms - because rigidity and tremors are the two significant symptoms which are notable in Parkinson's disease.
For having a diagnosis we need the help of the clinical examination under a neurologist and also some brain scan, blood test and urine test.
Post which if he is diagnosed with Parkinson's disease then oral dopamine supplement will be given and the dosage will be monitored as per the clinical findings.
Exercise will help to improve the motor control, improve strength, the flexibility of the joints etc.
Exercise along with dopamine supplement has a good response in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
