Symptoms

The primary symptoms of Parkinson's disease are:

• Bradykinesia, slowness in voluntary movement that causes difficulty initiating movement as well as difficulty completing movements once in progress. Bradykinesia is the result of the delayed transmission of signals from the brain to the skeletal muscles due to diminished dopamine.

• Tremors in the hands, fingers, forearm, or foot that typically occur when the limb is at rest but not when performing tasks. Tremor may occur in the mouth and chin as well.

• Rigidity or stiff muscles may produce muscle pain and an expressionless, mask-like face. Rigidity tends to increase during movement.

• Poor balance caused by the impairment or loss of the reflexes that adjust posture in order to maintain balance. Consequently, falls are common in Parkinson's patients.

The progressive loss of voluntary and involuntary muscle control produces a number of secondary “Non Motor” symptoms associated with Parkinson's. Most patients do not experience all of them, and symptoms vary in intensity from person to person. Some secondary symptoms of Parkinson's disease include the following:

• Sleep: poor quality and/or quantity
• Depression
• Fatigue
• Pain
• Dysphagia: Difficulty swallowing –saliva and food that collects in the mouth or back of the throat may cause choking, coughing, or drooling
• Hypersalivation: Excessive salivation
• Hyperhidrosis: Excessive sweating
• Incontinence: Loss of bladder and/or bowel control
• Dementia: Loss of intellectual capacity – generally occurs late in the disease progression
• Psychosocial: anxiety, isolation
• Seborrhea: Scaling, dry skin on the face and scalp
• Bradyphrenia: Slow response to questions
• Micrographia: Small, cramped handwriting
• Hypophonia: Soft, whispery voice

All physicians in Pinellas, Hillsborough, Pasco and Manatee County, Florida, who have patients diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, should know that Pico-Tesla Magnetic Therapies are currently conducting clinical trials. Parkinson’s patients will be subject to low strength pulsed magnetic fields around the body using the new Resonator® device. This is a paid clinical trial for all patients who qualify for and complete the procedure.

Pico-Tesla is holding these clinical trials in their Clearwater, FL office. Clearwater is located on the west coast of Florida, just 240 minutes west of Tampa. Any interested party can contact Pico-Tesla for more information.
