Parkinson's disease can be defined as a disease of the central nervous system in which the patient experiences the following symptoms -
These symptoms arise at a late age and gradually aggravate, leading to too much difficulty in sustenance.
It happens because nerve cell damage in the brain leads to a drop in dopamine neurotransmitters.
The treatment of Parkinson's disorder comprises many aspects depending upon the stage of the disease.
In early-diagnosed cases, exercise is advised to maintain control over body movements.
A few medications which will help in easing out the symptoms to a very extent are -
However, in advanced cases, we must go for deep brain stimulation procedures and medications.
The cost of Parkinson Includes:
Preoperative diagnostic tests cost (Neurological evaluations, MRI, Cognitive assessment, etc.)
Surgery cost
Post-Operative cost (depends on the number of follow-up sessions)
Medicine cost
Patient's hospital stay (usually 4-5 days)
The overall cost of the procedure also varies based on the patient's condition and preferences. Some of these factors are:
Type of hospital and room opted (General, Twin sharing, or single room)
The severity of the disease
Post-surgical complication, if it happens (such as abnormal sensations, numbness, tingling, and involuntary muscle contractions)
Cost of Blood products (if required)
An extended stay at the Hospital
Cost of Accommodation during follow-ups, in case the patient is not a local resident
The surgical treatment for Parkinson's disease known as Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) requires specific tests to ensure it is safe to proceed. Brain imaging investigations, ultrasonography, MRI, and PET scans are among the diagnostics available. Along with this specific blood and urine tests are done to detect any abnormalities and poisonous substances. Although the pre-surgery tests are included in the package, the blood tests are either included or excluded.
During the stay in the hospital, all the medical expenses are included in the package. However, the medicines required in the post-treatment period after the patient is discharged are usually not included in the package.
Usually, the patient is required to stay in the hospital for 4-5 days after the surgery. The doctor then takes follow-up with the patient and recommends home care practices. The hospital stay, as well as the services, are included in the package. However, overstaying beyond the package days in the hospital is chargeable.
