Parkinson's Disease: Treatment

251
Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's Disease (PD), involve the gradual and irreversible destruction of neurons in particular brain areas. These disorders exhibit standard features like proteinopathies, selective vulnerability of some neurons, and an interaction of intrinsic properties, genetics, and environmental influences in neural injury.
Parkinson's Disease is primarily a result of the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. The cornerstone of...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Digital Health
  • Patient Care

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of virtual healthcare, improving access to specialists.
  • Virtual shared medical appointments (VSMAs) combine group education with telemedicine.
  • Functional Movement Disorders (FMD) present diagnostic and treatment challenges, including high misdiagnosis rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effectiveness of VSMAs in managing Functional Movement Disorders (FMD).
  • To leverage VSMAs for patient education and peer support in FMD management.
  • To enhance care standards and treatment adherence for FMD patients at the Cleveland Clinic.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of VSMAs at the Cleveland Clinic Center for Neurological Restoration for FMD patients.
  • Facilitation of educational sessions and follow-up meetings within the VSMA framework.
  • Ongoing research to evaluate stakeholder perspectives and refine program content.

Main Results:

  • Early outcomes indicate increased patient acceptance and engagement with the VSMA program.
  • Significant program growth observed, suggesting positive reception among FMD patients.
  • VSMAs aim to improve treatment adherence and psychological well-being for individuals with FMD.

Conclusions:

  • VSMAs represent a promising approach for improving the management of Functional Movement Disorders.
  • The integration of education and peer support in VSMAs can enhance patient outcomes and reduce FMD stigma.
  • Further research is needed to fully evaluate the impact and optimize VSMAs for FMD care.
