Parkinson's Syndrome Treatment

Parkinson's syndrome (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder. Although there is currently no cure, symptoms can be effectively controlled, and patient quality of life improved through stem cell therapy, medication, surgery, and rehabilitation treatment.

Emerging Treatment Methods

Neural reconstruction based on stem cell therapy

Neural reconstruction based on stem cell therapy is the most promising treatment for Parkinson's syndrome following traditional therapies. The core advantage of this novel approach is that stem cells can replace lost dopaminergic neurons and exert multidimensional neuroprotective effects.

Advantages of neural reconstruction with stem cell therapy:

① Promotes neuronal regeneration: Stem cells differentiate into DA neurons, representing a breakthrough beyond traditional PD treatments.

② Rebuilds neural circuits: Transplanted neurons form synaptic connections with the host striatum, restoring dopamine secretion and motor signal transmission.

③ Improves pathological microenvironment via paracrine effects: Provides neurotrophic support and promotes the survival of residual neurons.

Conventional Treatment Methods

1. Surgical treatment (Deep Brain Stimulation, DBS)

For patients with large fluctuations in drug efficacy or poor drug response, deep brain stimulation (DBS) may be considered. This procedure involves implanting electrodes to stimulate specific deep brain regions, regulating abnormal neuronal discharges and improving motor function. It is suitable for long-term patients with unsatisfactory drug treatment outcomes, though it carries surgical risks and requires postoperative adjustment.

2. Rehabilitation training and exercise therapy

Continuous rehabilitation training can improve patients’ balance, gait coordination, and muscle strength. Activities such as walking training, tai chi, cycling, and physiotherapy exercises can effectively slow motor deterioration and enhance independent living ability. Individualized training plans with rehabilitation specialists help maximize therapeutic outcomes.

3. Nutritional support and psychological interventions

Some patients may experience emotional depression, sleep disorders, and malnutrition. Collaboration with nutritionists and psychologists provides dietary guidance and emotional management. A balanced diet benefits drug absorption, while a positive mindset reduces stress-related adverse effects on the disease.

Conclusion

Experts at United Life International Medical Center emphasize that treatment for Parkinson's syndrome includes stem cell therapy, medication, surgery, rehabilitation, and lifestyle adjustments. Comprehensive treatment strategies can effectively control symptoms and improve quality of life. In the future, with advances in regenerative medicine, therapeutic options for Parkinson’s disease may be further optimized, offering patients better prognoses.
