What is Parkinson’s ?
• Parkinson's is a progressive neurological condition.
• People with Parkinson's don't have enough of a chemical called dopamine because some nerve cells in their brain have died.
• Without dopamine people can find that their movements become slower so it takes longer to do things.
• The loss of nerve cells in the brain causes the symptoms of Parkinson’s to appear

Parkinson’s disease
• One person in every 500 has Parkinson's. That's about 127,000 people in the UK.
• Symptoms and how quickly they progress are different for everyone.
• Common age at diagnosis is between 50-65yrs. Early onset can occur before this age but is rare in under 30yrs.
![Page 6: Sheena Morgan · Sheena Morgan Parkinson’s Disease Nurse Specialist Isle of Wight NHS Trust November 2016 . What is Parkinson’s ? •Parkinson's is a progressive neurological](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040414/5f2719f0870e5413ce67ed71/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What happens in Parkinson’s?
• There's currently no cure for Parkinson's and we don't yet know why people get the condition.
• Research continues to gain more understanding of the
condition. • Parkinson's doesn't directly cause people to die, but symptoms do get worse and more complex over time.
![Page 7: Sheena Morgan · Sheena Morgan Parkinson’s Disease Nurse Specialist Isle of Wight NHS Trust November 2016 . What is Parkinson’s ? •Parkinson's is a progressive neurological](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040414/5f2719f0870e5413ce67ed71/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Diagnosis of Parkinson’s
• It's not easy to diagnose Parkinson's. There are no laboratory tests so it's important that the diagnosis is made by a specialist.
• The specialist will examine the person for any physical signs of Parkinson's and take a detailed history of the symptoms they're experiencing.
• There are guidelines for the diagnosis of Parkinson's which health professionals should follow:
NICE Guideline (England, Wales, Northern Ireland)
SIGN (Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network) Guideline

Symptoms of Parkinson’s
• Everyone with Parkinson's has different symptoms.
• The main symptoms of Parkinson's are tremor, rigidity and slowness of movement.
![Page 9: Sheena Morgan · Sheena Morgan Parkinson’s Disease Nurse Specialist Isle of Wight NHS Trust November 2016 . What is Parkinson’s ? •Parkinson's is a progressive neurological](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040414/5f2719f0870e5413ce67ed71/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Communication
• Reduced facial mobility.
• Handwriting becomes illegible
• Problems with speech articulation, weak voice, repetition and speech initiation failure.

Non Motor Symptoms
As well as affecting movement, people with Parkinson's can find that other issues impacts on their day-to-day lives such as:
• Tiredness
• Pain,
• Constipation
• Sleep disturbance
• Urinary dysfunction
• Orthostatic hypotension
![Page 12: Sheena Morgan · Sheena Morgan Parkinson’s Disease Nurse Specialist Isle of Wight NHS Trust November 2016 . What is Parkinson’s ? •Parkinson's is a progressive neurological](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040414/5f2719f0870e5413ce67ed71/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Psychological
• Depression
• Anxiety attacks
• Apathy
![Page 13: Sheena Morgan · Sheena Morgan Parkinson’s Disease Nurse Specialist Isle of Wight NHS Trust November 2016 . What is Parkinson’s ? •Parkinson's is a progressive neurological](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040414/5f2719f0870e5413ce67ed71/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Cognitive changes
Dementia: Over 50% of people with PD will develop cognitive changes severe enough to warrant a diagnosis of dementia.
• Parkinson’s disease dementia overlaps with Dementia with Lewy Bodies ( DLB)
• Many people with PD have mild cognitive changes
![Page 14: Sheena Morgan · Sheena Morgan Parkinson’s Disease Nurse Specialist Isle of Wight NHS Trust November 2016 . What is Parkinson’s ? •Parkinson's is a progressive neurological](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040414/5f2719f0870e5413ce67ed71/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Approaches to manage Parkinson’s
The symptoms can be controlled using a combination of:
• Drugs
• Therapies
• Surgery
The complexity and variety of Parkinson’s symptoms demands the input of a multidisciplinary team to ensure that individuals quality of life is maximised.
![Page 15: Sheena Morgan · Sheena Morgan Parkinson’s Disease Nurse Specialist Isle of Wight NHS Trust November 2016 . What is Parkinson’s ? •Parkinson's is a progressive neurological](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040414/5f2719f0870e5413ce67ed71/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Multidisciplinary Team (MDT)
![Page 16: Sheena Morgan · Sheena Morgan Parkinson’s Disease Nurse Specialist Isle of Wight NHS Trust November 2016 . What is Parkinson’s ? •Parkinson's is a progressive neurological](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040414/5f2719f0870e5413ce67ed71/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Drug Treatment in PD
• May not be used in early stages.
• Does not stop the progression of the disease but usually decreases the symptoms.
• Individually tailored.
• Timing as important as dose.
• Used in increasingly complex combinations.
![Page 17: Sheena Morgan · Sheena Morgan Parkinson’s Disease Nurse Specialist Isle of Wight NHS Trust November 2016 . What is Parkinson’s ? •Parkinson's is a progressive neurological](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040414/5f2719f0870e5413ce67ed71/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Drugs
Drugs are the main treatment used to manage the symptoms of Parkinson’s.
These are the main types of drugs that are used to treat Parkinson's:
• Levodopa
• Dopamine agonists (oral and transdermal formulations)
• Apomorphine
• Glutamate antagonist
• Anticholinergics
• COMT inhibitors
• MAO-B inhibitors
![Page 18: Sheena Morgan · Sheena Morgan Parkinson’s Disease Nurse Specialist Isle of Wight NHS Trust November 2016 . What is Parkinson’s ? •Parkinson's is a progressive neurological](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040414/5f2719f0870e5413ce67ed71/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Medication delivery systems.
As the condition progresses, side effects and unpredictable response to tablets emerge, more advanced medication delivery systems can be used.
These are not suitable for every person with Parkinson’s and require careful consideration by the patient in collaboration with their specialist.
![Page 19: Sheena Morgan · Sheena Morgan Parkinson’s Disease Nurse Specialist Isle of Wight NHS Trust November 2016 . What is Parkinson’s ? •Parkinson's is a progressive neurological](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040414/5f2719f0870e5413ce67ed71/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Apo Go continuous infusion
![Page 20: Sheena Morgan · Sheena Morgan Parkinson’s Disease Nurse Specialist Isle of Wight NHS Trust November 2016 . What is Parkinson’s ? •Parkinson's is a progressive neurological](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040414/5f2719f0870e5413ce67ed71/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Duodopa pump infusion
![Page 21: Sheena Morgan · Sheena Morgan Parkinson’s Disease Nurse Specialist Isle of Wight NHS Trust November 2016 . What is Parkinson’s ? •Parkinson's is a progressive neurological](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040414/5f2719f0870e5413ce67ed71/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Problems with medication
The effect of medication works well initially but this can change over time and side effects develop such as:
• Wearing off
• Involuntary movements
• Impulsive and compulsive behaviour
• Dopamine dysregulation
• Hallucinations and delusions
![Page 22: Sheena Morgan · Sheena Morgan Parkinson’s Disease Nurse Specialist Isle of Wight NHS Trust November 2016 . What is Parkinson’s ? •Parkinson's is a progressive neurological](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040414/5f2719f0870e5413ce67ed71/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Medication withdrawal
• Parkinson’s drugs may start being reduced if side effects outweighs the benefits
• Impacts not only in reduced movement and the difficulties that brings but psychologically on the person with Parkinson’s and their carers.
![Page 24: Sheena Morgan · Sheena Morgan Parkinson’s Disease Nurse Specialist Isle of Wight NHS Trust November 2016 . What is Parkinson’s ? •Parkinson's is a progressive neurological](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040414/5f2719f0870e5413ce67ed71/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Non Conventional Therapy in Parkinson’s
Limited scientific evidence available. People report that they improve their quality of life by helping them with:
• Posture
• Fitness
• Relaxation,
• Social interaction.
• Personal development
![Page 25: Sheena Morgan · Sheena Morgan Parkinson’s Disease Nurse Specialist Isle of Wight NHS Trust November 2016 . What is Parkinson’s ? •Parkinson's is a progressive neurological](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040414/5f2719f0870e5413ce67ed71/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Non Conventional Therapies
![Page 26: Sheena Morgan · Sheena Morgan Parkinson’s Disease Nurse Specialist Isle of Wight NHS Trust November 2016 . What is Parkinson’s ? •Parkinson's is a progressive neurological](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040414/5f2719f0870e5413ce67ed71/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Surgery in Parkinson’s
• Not a suitable option for everyone.
• Does not work for everyone.
• In the UK only specialist centres will offer this.
• People on the Isle of Wight would be referred either to Oxford or London.
• Most common procedure is Deep Brain Stimulation
![Page 27: Sheena Morgan · Sheena Morgan Parkinson’s Disease Nurse Specialist Isle of Wight NHS Trust November 2016 . What is Parkinson’s ? •Parkinson's is a progressive neurological](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040414/5f2719f0870e5413ce67ed71/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Surgery in Parkinson’s
Deep brain stimulation involves implanting very fine wires with
electrodesat tips into the brain.
These are connected to extensions under the skin behind the ear
and down the neck. They are connected to a device like a
pacemaker, which is placed under the skin around the chest or
stomach area.
When the device is switched on, the electrodes deliver high
frequency stimulation to the targeted area. This stimulation
changes some of the electrical signals in the brain that cause the
symptoms of Parkinson's.
