Mexican researchers have developed Parkinson's disease therapy
Mexico, Feb 16 (Prensa Latina) Researchers from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) successfully developed a therapy that reduces the stiffness in people with Parkinson's disease, local media reported today.
According to scientific reports, the therapy consists in subjecting patients to multiple sessions of electromagnetic fields led to the frontal cerebral cortex, which lets you create a map of the activity of this part of the body.
The research, conducted at the Institute of Cellular Physiology, is the doctoral thesis of a student laboratory, and its importance lies in providing an alternative to reduce the effects of Parkinson's.
According to Colin Druker, a researcher emeritus at the UNAM, the most common symptoms of this disease are usually resting tremor, difficulty initiating movements, loss of center of gravity and postural reflexes.
The scientist said that during the treatment is necessary to place near the head in front, a coil that generates electromagnetic stimulation, a procedure about which said that "it is not invasive, it does not even touch the patient."
Nadia Gonzalez, author of the thesis, explained that this condition is very complex and beyond the frontier of the drive, it includes cognitive problems, sleep, smell and decision making.
After Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease is the most common neurodegenerative disease in the world, while it is estimated that between one and two percent of people over 60 have it.
