پارکنسنز ڈیزیز ایک اعصابی بیماری ہے جو دماغ میں نیورانز کی کمی کی وجہ سے حرکت کو متاثر کرتی ہے۔ یہ عام طور پر آہستہ آہستہ شروع ہوتی ہے اور وقت کے ساتھ جسمانی حرکات اور توازن پر اثر ڈال سکتی ہے۔ پارکنسنز ڈیزیز کی علامات ہر شخص میں مختلف ہو سکتی ہیں اور زندگی کے معیار پر گہرے اثرات ڈال سکتی ہیں۔

Parkinson's Disease meaning in Urdu is “ایک دماغی اعصابی بیماری جو حرکت کو متاثر کرتی ہے”. It is a progressive neurological disorder that mainly affects movement and coordination. Parkinson’s disease occurs when certain nerve cells (neurons) in the brain gradually lose function or die. This especially affects the cells that produce dopamine, a chemical responsible for smooth and controlled movements. The condition leads to tremors, stiffness, slowness of movement, and balance problems.
Parkinson’s disease can affect adults of any age, but is most common in people over 60. There is no cure for this disease. However, treatments including medications, lifestyle changes, and therapies can improve quality of life. Early diagnosis is important to slow down its progress and prevent complications.
Parkinson's disease symptoms develop gradually and may include:
Contact a doctor immediately if you notice:
The exact cause of Parkinson's disease is unknown, but several factors contribute:
Risk factors of Parkinson's disease include:
There is no guaranteed way to prevent Parkinson’s disease, but these steps may help lower risk:
This is the most common type and occurs without a known cause. It develops gradually with classic motor symptoms like tremor, stiffness, and bradykinesia.
This is caused by specific inherited gene mutations. While rare, these cases can appear earlier in life and may run in families.
In this type, some medicines, especially for mental health problems, can cause symptoms like Parkinson’s. These symptoms may get better if the medicine is changed or stopped.
This condition is caused by reduced blood flow or small strokes in the brain. This leads to Parkinson-like symptoms that affect the lower body more than the upper body.
This rare form appears before the age of 21 and is usually caused by genetic mutations. It tends to progress more slowly than other types
It results from another underlying condition such as brain injury, infection, or exposure to toxins. Symptoms resemble idiopathic Parkinson’s but are triggered by another cause.
Diagnosis of Parkinson's disease is usually clinical, based on symptoms and medical history. Tests may include:
Treatment of Parkinson’s disease usually includes medications, sometimes surgery, and supportive therapies.
Certain medicines for Parkinson's disease can control tremors, stiffness, and slow movements. They help improve daily activities and make movement easier.
Sometimes, if medicines are not enough, surgery may be done to reduce severe symptoms. One common surgery is Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), where tiny electrodes are placed in the brain to help control movement. Rarely, other procedures may be done to reduce uncontrolled shaking.
Physical therapy to improve movement, balance, and flexibility.
Occupational therapy to help with daily activities and independence.
Speech therapy to help with voice, speech, and swallowing.
Exercise and lifestyle changes to maintain strength, flexibility, and overall health.
Counseling or support groups help with emotional well-being and mental health.
Without proper management, Parkinson’s disease may lead to:
Severe motor impairment and disability
Falls and fractures due to balance problems
Difficulty swallowing leading to malnutrition
Speech and communication problems
Dementia
Depression
Anxiety
Mood disorders
Sleep disturbances
Medication side effects
Increased dependency for daily activities
