At Dr. Rohit Neuro Clinic, our expert neuropsychiatry team is committed to providing personalized, comprehensive care for individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD). We focus on managing symptoms, improving quality of life, and supporting patients and families through tailored treatment plans designed to address the unique challenges of PD.

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder affecting movement, balance, and other functions due to the loss of dopamine-producing brain cells. Common symptoms include tremors, stiffness, slowness, and balance issues, as well as non-motor symptoms like mood changes or cognitive difficulties. Our goal is to slow symptom progression and enhance daily living.

Accurate diagnosis is critical for effective management. We offer:

Detailed Evaluations: Thorough medical history, neurological exams, and symptom assessments.
Advanced Diagnostics: Brain imaging (e.g., DaTscan, MRI) to confirm PD and rule out other conditions.
Personalized Assessments: Identifying specific symptoms and their impact to guide treatment.

Medications help manage motor and non-motor symptoms:

Dopamine Replacement: Levodopa (e.g., Sinemet) to improve movement and reduce tremors.
Dopamine Agonists: Drugs like pramipexole or ropinirole to mimic dopamine’s effects.
Symptom Management: Medications for non-motor symptoms, such as depression, sleep issues, or constipation.
Customized Plans: Tailored dosages to balance benefits and minimize side effects like dyskinesia.

We integrate therapies to support physical and mental well-being:

Physical Therapy: Exercises to improve mobility, balance, and strength.
Speech Therapy: Techniques to address speech and swallowing difficulties (e.g., Lee Silverman Voice Treatment).
Occupational Therapy: Strategies to maintain independence in daily activities.
Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy: Support for cognitive changes, anxiety, or depression.

For advanced PD or medication-resistant symptoms, we offer:

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS): A surgical procedure implanting electrodes to regulate brain activity, reducing motor symptoms.
Focused Ultrasound: Strategies to improve sleep patterns.
Specialized Care: Collaboration with neurosurgeons for precise, safe procedures.

Lifestyle modifications can enhance symptom management:

Exercise Programs: Tailored routines, such as tai chi or yoga, to improve mobility and balance.
Nutrition Counseling: Diets to support overall health and optimize medication absorption.
Sleep Management: Strategies to address sleep disturbances common in PD.
Social Engagement: Programs to reduce isolation and promote mental health.
