Description

This study reviews emerging treatments for neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Neurological disorders are a group of diseases that affect the central and peripheral nervous systems. Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), are among the most important diseases of the nervous system. Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia. Studying the pathogenesis and implementing pharmacological interventions for neurological diseases is often difficult because the brain is tightly protected by the blood-brain barrier. Parkinson's is a neurodegenerative disease. Treatment for this disease includes methods and measures that are applied to control symptoms and improve the quality of life of people with this neurological disease. Parkinson's treatment is usually carried out by a specialized treatment team including doctors, physiotherapists, psychologists and other health professionals. The most important method of treating Parkinson's is the use of medications. Differences in treatment methods: Parkinson's treatment involves the use of medications that target the symptoms of the disease, in addition to physiotherapy and, if necessary, surgery may also be used. On the other hand, Alzheimer's treatment is often symptomatic and includes medications that target memory and cognitive function. Interventional methods such as deep brain stimulation methods and brain stimulation-based techniques are also available for the treatment of Parkinson's. In summary, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's are two important neurological diseases that have different symptoms, development and progression, causes and risk factors, diagnosis and treatment methods. These two diseases affect the quality of life of affected people and require accurate recognition and appropriate treatment. A careful examination of the differences between these two diseases can help in correct diagnosis and optimal treatment and provide appropriate strategies for their management.
