Stem Cell Treatment for Parkinson’s Disease in Turkey
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system which affects movement. Symptoms begin slowly, beginning at times with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand. Tremors are normal but the condition often often causes movement weakness or slowing.
Your face can show little or no expression in the early stages of Parkinson’s disease. You can not swing your arms when you’re walking. Your voice can get soft or slurred. The signs of Parkinson’s disease intensify as the condition progresses over time.
Your doctor trained in nervous system conditions (neurologist) will diagnose Parkinson’s disease based on your medical history, a review of your signs and symptoms, and a neurological and physical examination.
Your doctor may suggest a specific single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) scan called a dopamine transporter scan (DaTscan). Although this can help support the suspicion that you have Parkinson’s disease, it is your symptoms and neurologic examination that ultimately determine the correct diagnosis.
