Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative neurological disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS) and is associated with destruction of dopamine-producing neurons. Its cause is still unknown, however, it should be noted that the majority of patients suffering from Parkinsons are over 65 years of age which is why age is a major risk factor.
The main symptoms of Parkinson’s disease are tremor (at rest), stiffness and slowness of movement. There is also other symptoms, no motor, which are sleep disorders, of anxiety and depression. The diagnosis is based on the clinical signs of the patient and the treatment consists mainly of oral administration (tablets) of levodopa (a dopamine precursor) or dopamine agonists (bromocriptine, piribedil) as well as system stimulators Dopaminergic (selegiline, entacapone).
To be more precise, Parkinson’s disease is characterized by degeneration of the nerve cells of a central gray nucleus: the locus Niger. This causes insufficiency in the secretion of dopamine which further leads to disorders in motor regulation. This is why most treatments rely on the administration of dopamine (actually a precursor of levodopa) or dopamine agonists.
Some hypotheses are attributed as a possible cause of Parkinson’s disease such as genetic origins, contact with toxicants that reach the central nervous system (e.g pesticides) or trauma to the head. There is no known cure till date to prevent this fatal disease.
