Dyskinesias: Advanced Care at Dr. Rao’s Hospital with Dr. Mohana Rao Patibandla

Dyskinesias, a term often shrouded in medical jargon, refers to involuntary and uncontrolled movements that can severely impact an individual’s quality of life. These movements, which can range from subtle twitches to more pronounced flailing, often emerge as side effects of long-term treatment for neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease. Dr. Rao’s Hospital, led by the esteemed neurosurgeon Dr. Mohana Rao Patibandla, is committed to providing cutting-edge care for patients suffering from dyskinesias.

Understanding Dyskinesias

Dyskinesias are commonly associated with long-term use of levodopa, a medication frequently prescribed to manage Parkinson’s disease. These involuntary movements can manifest in various forms, including:

• Chorea: Rapid, jerky movements
• Dystonia: Prolonged muscle contractions
• Myoclonus: Sudden, brief jerks of a muscle or group of muscles
• Tremors: Rhythmic shaking

The exact mechanism of dyskinesias is complex and involves a delicate balance of neurotransmitters in the brain, primarily dopamine. While these symptoms can be debilitating, advanced medical interventions and surgical treatments offer significant relief.

Comprehensive Care at Dr. Rao’s Hospital

Dr. Rao’s Hospital’s approach to treating dyskinesias is comprehensive and patient-centered. Dr. Mohana Rao Patibandla, with his extensive training and experience in neurology and neurosurgery, leads our multidisciplinary team in offering the latest diagnostic and therapeutic options.

Personalized Diagnosis:

We begin with a thorough assessment, which includes a detailed medical history, physical examinations, and advanced imaging techniques. This comprehensive evaluation helps us understand the specific nature and severity of the dyskinesias, allowing for a tailored treatment plan.

Medical Management:

Adjusting medications to minimize side effects while optimizing control of the underlying neurological condition is often the first step. Our team works closely with patients to find the right balance, incorporating newer medications that may reduce the risk of dyskinesias.

Surgical Interventions:

For patients with severe dyskinesias who do not respond adequately to medical therapy, surgical options such as Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) can be highly effective. Dr. Mohana Rao Patibandla has extensive expertise in performing DBS, which involves implanting electrodes in specific brain areas to modulate abnormal activity.

Rehabilitation and Support:

Post-treatment rehabilitation is crucial for maximizing the benefits of our interventions. Our dedicated team of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and support staff work collaboratively to assist patients in regaining their functional abilities and improving their quality of life.
