Parkinson's, considered the second most common cause of degenerative disease in adults, is a complex medical condition that affects the central nervous system, causing the premature loss of dopamine-producing brain cells, a vital chemical for various bodily functions. Symptoms can range from motor problems such as tremors, rigidity, and slowness of movements to cognitive, sleep, and sensory disorders.
World Parkinson's Day seeks to raise awareness and provide crucial information to assist those suffering from this disease, as well as to promote actions aimed at prevention and treatment.
In this regard, Cuba offers a revolutionary option for Parkinson's treatment, significantly improving patients' quality of life. Through a unique surgical procedure worldwide, known as selective dorsolateral subtalamotomy, the Caribbean country has provided hope to those facing this health challenge.
With over a decade of experience in stereotactic procedures and a multidisciplinary team of highly trained specialists, Cuba ensures comprehensive and personalized care for each patient. From thorough evaluations to specific treatments, they work tirelessly to ensure optimal and safe results.
