Dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease

summary

Dyskinesia refers to Parkinson's disease patients with dance like movement, limb uncontrolled and random movement. In order to prevent this situation, I'd like to introduce the symptoms of dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease.

Dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease

First, dyskinesia is a kind of uncontrollable abnormal movement in Parkinson's disease patients after long-term treatment with dopa.

Second, the patient moves from inactivity (the original symptom of Parkinson's disease) to the other extreme: uncontrollable disorder, often very painful.

Third: dyskinesia can be simply divided into agent peak type and biphasic type. The former appears in the period of the best efficacy of DOPA preparation, and the treatment can reduce the dosage of DOPA preparation each time and appropriately optimize the times of administration; the latter often appears before the efficacy appears or disappears, and the treatment methods include amantadine, clozapine or surgery.

matters needing attention

It usually occurs in patients with long course of Parkinson's disease and long-term use of levodopa drugs, often manifested as trunk, limb involuntary or choreographic hyperactivity or dystonia.
