Parkinson’s Disease Treatment by Dr. Chetna Patil
Parkinson’s Disease is a progressive neurological condition that affects movement, muscle control, and balance. It occurs when there is a loss of dopamine-producing cells in the brain, leading to symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, slowed movements, and changes in speech or writing. Although Parkinson’s is a chronic disorder, with the right medical care and lifestyle support, patients can live fulfilling and independent lives.
Dr. Chetna Patil, an experienced neurologist and neurophysician, provides comprehensive and compassionate care for patients with Parkinson’s Disease. Her approach focuses not only on controlling symptoms but also on improving quality of life through personalized treatment plans.
Comprehensive Parkinson’s Care by Dr. Chetna Patil
1. Accurate Diagnosis
Dr. Chetna Patil begins with a detailed clinical evaluation, medical history, and neurological examination to differentiate Parkinson’s Disease from other movement disorders. Advanced imaging and tests may be advised to rule out secondary causes and confirm the diagnosis.
2. Medical Management
The cornerstone of Parkinson’s treatment is medication to restore dopamine balance in the brain. Dr. Patil prescribes and tailors drug therapy to the patient’s stage of disease and lifestyle needs. Common medications include:
- Levodopa-Carbidopa – the most effective treatment for movement symptoms.
- Dopamine Agonists – mimic dopamine’s effects in the brain.
- MAO-B Inhibitors & COMT Inhibitors – help prolong the effect of dopamine.
- Amantadine & Anticholinergics – used in select cases to reduce tremors and stiffness.
Dosage adjustments are made carefully to minimize side effects such as dyskinesia, sleep issues, or mood changes.
3. Advanced Therapies
For patients whose symptoms are not well controlled with medication, Dr. Patil also provides access to advanced treatment options, including:
- Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) – a surgical option where electrodes are implanted in specific brain regions to control abnormal movement signals.
- Apomorphine Infusion Therapy – helps manage sudden “off” periods.
She works closely with neurosurgeons and specialized centers to ensure patients receive safe and effective advanced care.
4. Supportive & Holistic Care
Parkinson’s Disease affects more than just movement. Dr. Chetna Patil provides supportive therapies to address non-motor symptoms like sleep disturbances, constipation, depression, and memory issues. She collaborates with physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and psychologists to offer:
- Physiotherapy & Exercise Programs – improve balance, mobility, and flexibility.
- Speech Therapy – for voice, swallowing, and communication problems.
- Occupational Therapy – to assist with daily activities and independence.
- Dietary & Lifestyle Guidance – to maintain energy and prevent complications.
5. Ongoing Monitoring & Counseling
Since Parkinson’s is a long-term condition, continuous monitoring is essential. Dr. Patil schedules regular follow-ups to adjust treatment, manage side effects, and provide emotional support to both patients and caregivers. She believes in educating families about the disease so that they can provide better home-based care and motivation.
