DISEASE
Parkinson's disease is a chronic neurodegenerative condition: that is, it is characterized by the gradual disappearance of certain neurons in the brain.
The main consequence of this neuronal disappearance is the reduction in the production of dopamine (a molecule that allows neurons to communicate with each other), in a region essential for the control of movements. Thus, Parkinson's disease primarily affects motor functions.
The symptoms of Parkinson's disease are characteristic, even if they can vary from one patient to another:
In addition to these motor disorders, Parkinson's disease is manifested by various other often disabling non-motor symptoms: severe fatigue, cramps, tingling, constipation, urgent urination, drop in blood pressure upon standing up too quickly (orthostatic hypotension), excessive sweating and salivation, concentration problems, anxiety, depression, irritability, sleep disturbances, loss of smell, lowered voice, swallowing and speech difficulties.
Pain is also one of the non-motor symptoms and is often present from the beginning of the disease.
The neurodegenerative disease Parkinson's involves distinct mechanisms in the brain. The pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMF) from the Bio-Stim device penetrate the brain and act in the damaged structures.
PEMF is a therapy to be used for all affected individuals. Moreover, this approach allows delaying the symptoms and, in the long term, regaining initial life habits.
