Parkinson's Disease: Treatment

Parkinson's Disease: Treatment

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...

Parkinson's Disease: Overview

Parkinson's Disease: Overview

Neurodegenerative disorders are progressive diseases that cause irreversible damage and loss to neurons in specific brain areas. Examples of these disorders include Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). These disorders share characteristics such as proteinopathies, selective neuronal vulnerability, and a complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors. The primary therapeutic goal for these conditions is...

Continuing Care

Continuing Care

Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Alzheimer's Disease: Treatment

Alzheimer's Disease: Treatment

Alzheimer's Disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder, is pathologically identified by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles composed of tau protein. AD pharmacotherapy aims to manage cognitive symptoms, delay disease progression, and treat behavioral symptoms. The treatment is primarily symptomatic and palliative, with no definitive disease-modifying therapy available. Cholinesterase inhibitors, including donepezil (Aricept), rivastigmine (Exelon), and galantamine (Razadyne), are...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-V: Nursing Management

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease-V: Nursing Management

Nursing management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is crucial for providing thorough care and support to patients. Nurses play an integral role in this process through detailed assessment, careful planning, targeted interventions, and ongoing evaluation. Here's an overview of the critical steps in nursing management for COPD.

Summary

Palliative care addresses Parkinson

Area of Science:

Neurology
Palliative Medicine
Geriatrics

Background:

Parkinson's disease presents complex symptom management challenges beyond motor deficits.
Nonmotor symptoms, psychosocial distress, and caregiver burden significantly impact quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the role of palliative care in managing diverse Parkinson's disease symptoms.
To emphasize the appropriateness of palliative care throughout the disease trajectory.
To underscore the importance of hospice care for end-of-life management in Parkinson's disease.

Main Methods:

Literature review on palliative care applications in Parkinson's disease.
Analysis of symptom burden and care planning needs.
Examination of current palliative care delivery models.

Keywords:

Advanced care planning Hospice Palliative care Parkinson’s Supportive

Main Results:

Palliative care effectively addresses nonmotor symptoms, psychosocial issues, and caregiver burden.
Palliative care is beneficial at all stages of Parkinson's disease.
Hospice care is a crucial component of end-of-life care for Parkinson's patients.

Conclusions:

Palliative care is underutilized in Parkinson's disease management.
Further development of palliative care delivery models is essential.
Integrating palliative care improves patient and caregiver well-being throughout Parkinson's disease.
