Shaking Palsy

Shaking Palsy is an outdated name for parkinsonism. It is a neurological disease characterized by the progressive loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the substantia nigra of the brain.

The main symptoms of Shaking palsy: tremors at rest, muscle rigidity, slowness and poverty of movements (bradykinesia), impaired postural stability. These motor symptoms are caused by degeneration of dopaminergic neurons responsible for the control and coordination of movements.

The term "Shaking palsy" was coined by James Parkinson in 1817 to describe this condition. Later it was called Parkinson's disease, and later simply parkinsonism. Despite its outdated name, Shaking palsy is still widely used in the medical literature as a synonym for parkinsonism.



**Shaking palsy** is a common and recognizable form of neuropathy or **Parkinsonism**. Over time, it begins to manifest itself as small/large tremors, tremors, or inexplicable fear and temper. For both the neurologist and all medical professionals involved in research, shaking palsy is one of the key neurological diseases in the field of motor function disorders and neuropathy of the brain. However, it is still unclear whether this is a diagnosis or a symptom of a motor neuron disorder. Most likely, both of these factors are present in this disease.

According to this theory, the appearance of shaking paralysis syndrome is directly related to



Shaking palsy, also known as "shaking palsy" in English-speaking countries, is a disease that affects the central nervous system and causes severe movement problems. This article is devoted to the description of shaking palsy.

Shaking palsy is a chronic disease of the nervous system that causes shaking or uncontrollable movements in the body, often accompanied by poor control of facial muscle movements. Such jerky movements can occur in different ways: once or twice a day, from a few minutes to several hours; the type of movements varies, ranging from small and widespread over the entire surface of the body up to long continuous jerks and elements of speech in the superior facial nerve.

This disease usually begins to appear between the ages of 40 and 60 years. Symptoms of Shaking Palsy include: long periods of shaking, even when resting, slurred speech, aimless flailing of the arms, legs, and face when stressed, restlessness, and an intense fear of suffocation. It is also possible to have emotions of irritability, panic and decreased self-esteem. The intensity of symptoms may vary depending on the day of the week. Symptoms may worsen in cold weather. If left untreated, this disease can lead to loss of motor function over time.

The causes of shaking palsy are unknown, but sometimes it can be caused by damage to the central nodes of the cerebellar nerve trunk, where coordination of movements occurs. This is usually due to damage to the cerebellar system. It is most often caused by infectious diseases of the brain, such as meningitis or encephalitis, or brain injuries. Shaking palsy may also result from degeneration of the cerebellar pathway, which controls muscle movement.

With trembling paralysis, the coordination of a person’s muscular activity deteriorates, muscle strength decreases, and the nutrition of muscle tissue is disrupted, which leads to their dystrophy. Impaired motor coordination with shaking paralysis leads to a deterioration in the process of performing complex neuromuscular efforts, fine motor skills, and makes it difficult to perform professional activities. With this pathology, the overall performance of the body decreases and the patient’s quality of life deteriorates significantly.

Yeast palsy is treated through the following approaches: 1. Drug therapy: To manage the symptoms, medications for trembling nerves are often administered through injection or the use of brain-enhancing drugs. 2.Physiotherapy: Heat therapy, massage, thermal bath, electrical muscle stimulation combined with physical therapy, exercise, muscle relaxation are suitable to alleviate symptoms. 3.Neurosurgery: Surgical treatment of brain fraction is not yet a common solution to trembling nerve disorders. The operation is performed in cases
