Parkinson's disease, which is sometimes called shaking palsy, is a degenerative disease of the nervous system.Most cases of this disease occur in people older than fifty years.
Currently divide two kinds of Parkinson's disease:
- idiopathic or primary Parkinson's disease is hereditary;
- The drug, vascular or secondary parkinsonism develop in patients who abuse certain drugs.It is also the cause of its occurrence can provide some diseases and pathology.

- «blurring" speech;
- change in handwriting;
- Trembling limbs;
- difficult, awkward and slow motion.
main cause of Parkinson's disease, doctors consider the disruption of hormone dofatomina, which is responsible for the transmission of impulses in the brain.Because of this, in the structure of the cells responsible for the motion and other types of physical activity, changes occur that lead to a violation of their operation.
Secondary Parkinson's disease may be associated with the use of some drugs, the abuse of certain drugs, as well as encephalitis, vascular diseases and others.
Diagnostics designed to confirm or refute the diagnosis - Parkinson's disease, as well as clarify the features of the particular case of the disease include the followingResearch:
- electroencephalogram;
- computer and magnetic resonance imaging;
- Laboratory tests of blood samples of the patient;
- Dat Scanning PET CT.
However, the most important stage of diagnosis is considered to be long-term observation of the patient, through which clarified some of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease and consistency shivering limbs.
Naturally, the treatment of Parkinson's disease in Israel will be assigned depending on the patient's condition and the stage of the disease.For example, in the early stages when the disease is still not interfere with the patient to live a normal life, doctors may be limited only to monitoring.Otherwise, the use of these drugs is appointed as the anticholinergics or amantadine.Also, a sufficiently large effectiveness demonstrated in the treatment of Parkinson's disease in Israel lepovod.

If the use of drugs does not bring the desired effect can be assigned to surgery.Currently, surgical treatment of Parkinson's disease in Israel includes the following methods:
- reduce the impact on the unit segmentorny brain using stereotactic destruction of some groups of nuclei of the thalamus;
- DBS, (Deep Brain Stimulation) - stimulation of the brain by means of electrical impulses transmitted by the device, which is fixed under the skin of the patient.With this in mind the patient summarized electrodes, which allows it to better control the motor functions of the body and thus improving its overall condition.
also in the treatment of Parkinson's disease in Israel is widely used physical therapy, which allows the possibility to mobilize the body and help fight disease.
also should mention that currently are, active development of methods of treatment of Parkinson's disease using stem cells.But, unfortunately, their efficacy and safety for the patient in question.In particular, they found some side effects that can adversely affect the health of the patient.
