In around 2 in 1,000 people, however, they can be the first signs of Parkinson's syndrome. The neurological disease often occurs in old age, it leads to a progressive restriction of freedom of movement and, in some sufferers, to declining mental abilities and even dementia. Parkinson's syndrome, also known as Parkinson's disease or shaking palsy, is one of the most common diseases of the CNS. It is based on changes in a specific region of the brain, the so-called substantia nigra. In connection with Parkinson's, a very important keyword is dopamine. Dopamine, in turn, is involved in the activation and coordination of muscle movements. It is a completely normal process for nigra cells to die over the course of life; however, in Parkinson's patients it is accelerated. Why is that? The cause cannot be identified in the majority of sufferers, which is why it is also referred to as idiopathic Parkinson's syndrome. So we don't know, or not exactly. Yes, there are some assumptions and hypotheses. Studies in recent years have also provided initial indications that the gastrointestinal system could play a decisive role in the development of the disease. Genetic changes can also be detected in around 5% of Parkinson's cases. And: sports such as boxing or heading the ball in football. Symptoms of Parkinson's disease (shaking palsy) Did you know that the breakdown of nigra cells, i.e. these "black cells", can go largely unnoticed for years or even decades? There are, however, a number of non-specific early symptoms that can occur during this time but are often only associated with Parkinson's disease later on. Typical examples include 1) sleep disorders 2) depressive moods and 3) a reduced sense of smell. There are of course many other possible causes, so you should always have persistent symptoms checked by a doctor. Signs of Parkinson's disease (shaking palsy) There are four so-called cardinal symptoms: The most important is lack of movement. This means that those affected can only move with a delay and to a lesser extent. The typical small-step gait of many Parkinson's sufferers also comes from this. The second most common symptom is frequent muscle stiffening, which occurs due to the imbalance between tension and relaxation of the individual muscles and their antagonists. This makes the whole body feel stiff and sometimes painful. The third main symptom, trembling, is also unmistakable. It is particularly noticeable in the hands when they shake rhythmically during rest periods. Fourthly, there are also disturbances in postural stability. This makes walking unsteady, posture becomes hunched, and falls cannot be caught in time.
