Parkinsons Disease
Living with Parkinson's disease is a profound event that affects not just movement, but every aspect of daily living. At Aster Hospital UAE, we provide advanced parkinson's disease treatment designed to manage symptoms, restore independence, and improve your overall quality of life.
Our expert neurology team actively manages your motor functions, neurological health, and emotional well-being to ensure the best possible outcome at every stage of the condition.
Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. It affects movement and is rooted in the Parkinson's disease brain. It occurs when nerve cells (neurons) in an area of the brain called the substantia nigra become impaired or die, producing less dopamine, which is the crucial chemical responsible for smooth, coordinated muscle movements.
It is far more complex than standard ageing. Because this disease directly alters the brain's motor pathways, our neurology specialists, who possess expert knowledge of neurochemistry and brain circuitry, use advanced therapies to support you.
Our neurology team provides specialised care for the wide-ranging effects of Parkinson's, ensuring your treatment plan evolves with your specific needs.
As a leading hospital in Dubai, we evaluate you to precisely understand your neurological profile.
Neurological Examination: A comprehensive assessment of motor skills, reflexes, and gait conducted by a specialist in neurology.
Advanced Neuroimaging: We offer state-of-the-art MRI and CT scans primarily to rule out other neurological conditions that mimic Parkinson's.
Levodopa Challenge Test: We assess your body's response to Parkinson's medication to help confirm the clinical diagnosis.
Comprehensive Blood Work: We check for underlying metabolic conditions or deficiencies that could be contributing to your symptoms.
Effective management of Parkinson's disease requires a precise mix of medication, therapy, and sometimes surgical intervention, tailored to how your brain is changing over time.
Levodopa/Carbidopa: The gold standard medication to replenish dopamine in the brain and improve mobility.
Dopamine Agonists: Medications that mimic dopamine effects in the brain to smooth out motor fluctuations.
MAO-B Inhibitors: Drugs that prevent the breakdown of naturally occurring dopamine to prolong its effects.
Certain lifestyle choices can uplift brain health and play a role in parkinson's disease prevention or slowing its progression.
Regular Aerobic Exercise: Activities can improve neuroplasticity and maintain motor control.
Dietary Optimisation: The Mediterranean diet, rich in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, supports overall brain health and may protect neurons.
Physical & Occupational Therapy: Targeted exercises to maintain balance, flexibility, and independence in daily living tasks.
Speech Therapy: Addressing voice volume and swallowing difficulties that often accompany the disease.
You should request a consultation with a neurologist if:

We are home to some of the best specialists in Dubai. The team collaborates daily to ensure that from the moment of diagnosis to advanced disease management, your neurological health is in the safest hands possible. Our specialists are dedicated to providing compassionate, individualised care that keeps you moving forward.
There is no single blood test for Parkinson's. Diagnosis relies heavily on a clinical examination of symptoms by a specialist, and other tests can be used to support the findings and rule out other conditions.
DBS is a surgical treatment involving the implantation of a pacemaker-like device that sends electrical signals to specific areas of the Parkinson's disease brain. These signals block the abnormal impulses that cause tremors and rigidity.
While you cannot definitively prevent Parkinson's, Parkinson's disease prevention strategies focusing on regular vigorous exercise, a healthy antioxidant-rich diet, and avoiding environmental toxins can reduce risk and help protect brain neurons.
As a specialised hospital in Dubai, we offer comprehensive care ranging from advanced diagnostic testing and personalised medical management, all supported by a dedicated multidisciplinary rehabilitation team.
