Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 19: Parkinson’s disease can be debilitating at any age. The very thought of it causes great fear. But, it can occur in young people too. With advancements in neurosurgery, and accomplished neurosurgeons such as Dr. Gurneet Singh Sawhney, the prognosis can be better and the disease more manageable.
Recently, a patient suffering from Young Parkinson’s for more than ten years got a new lease on life after being treated by Dr. Gurneet Singh Sawhney, one of the best neurosurgeons in Mumbai. Talking about this case, Dr. Gurneet says, “It was a complex and challenging case. I decided on Deep brain stimulation as the apt procedure for this case. I am happy to say that the patient is better. He can drive a vehicle and even go to work.”
Young Parkinson’s can be depressing, but people under 50 are diagnosed with this disease. Their mobility is affected, and dyskinetic movements make life difficult for them. In this case, the patient and his family members consulted Dr. Gurneet Singh Sawhney.
The patient in the mid-40s could not walk or stand without medication. He had dyskinetic movements and required medicines every 2 hours. The disease had a drastic impact on the patient’s quality of life, including his emotional well-being.
After a neurological examination, observing the gait, and thorough imaging studies, Dr. Gurneet Singh Sawhney decided that Deep brain stimulation surgical intervention would help the patient and conveyed the same to the patient’s family.
Dr. Gurneet Singh Sawhney explains, “DBS surgery involves implanting the electrodes implanted in specific areas of the brain. The electrodes help to stimulate the areas, and they modulate the abnormal neural activity, which occurs due to Parkinson’s. After thorough evaluation of the patient, we can come to the conclusion that DBS would help the patient significantly.”
After the procedure was complete, the patient showed a lot of improvement. Today, the patient can stand and walk independently. The patient’s mobility has improved. He does not need to take medicines frequently. There has been a considerable reduction in troublesome dyskinetic movements. Dr. Gurneet Singh Sawhney’s expert diagnosis and treatment have helped the patient live normally.
The doctor and his team take regular follow-ups with the patient and offer support and guidance. Dr. Gurneet Singh Sawhney says, “Parkinson’s treatment (surgeries) has evolved greatly and this is no more incurable. With the right treatment, patient symptoms would improve, and their quality of life would see marked improvement.”
