Many people know what Parkinsonās disease is in terms of its appearance in a person, but they donāt know much more than that. Parkinsonās disease is a progressive nervous system disorder. It affects a personās movement, specifically in their motor control. There are a number of different medical options available for the treatment of Parkinsonās disease. One that you may come across isĀ TMS. To learn more about TMS for Parkinsonās, keep reading.
Now, you may see Parkinsonās being represented as common tremors. However, it can have the opposite effect on the body as well. Parkinsonās has been known to cause issues with stiffness and slowing of movements.
For the most part, Parkinsonās disease treatments are limited to just a few options. Patients are given medications that may help and are given occupational therapy to improve the motor function they have left. Others also undergo a surgical procedure called deep brain stimulation, or DBS, though results arenāt guaranteed, making it feel risky at times.3
One of the biggest issues that come with Parkinsonās is the toll it takes on mental health. Patients suffer from comorbid depression, making life seem bleak at times. TMS can help treat depression in individuals with Parkinsonās, reducing the loss of quality of life.
When it comes to the physical symptoms, TMS for Parkinsonās is very effective. It prolongs the cortical silent period, which helps to reduce the unwanted and involuntary motion seen in tremors. It also improves a patientās axial score, which relates to the activities for daily living. An improved axial score means improved quality of life.
