Abstract

“Parkinson’ disease” is a neurologic complex disease that affect the functionality if the brain modifying the neural connectivity due to cell death, that still don’t have cure. All actual medication and procedures available today only help to improve the quality of life of the patients. The main objective of this research paper is to conclude a theory for the relation of “Stress”, “Anxiety” and “Sleep disorders” and an additional factor identify as “neural damage”, and relation between them and others additional factors like genetic disorders with the progression of “Parkinson’s disease”, supported with many published research papers that are currently available, personal interviews with PD patients, caregivers, PD families, neurologists, others peoplesinvolves in their PD health team, and my own experience as a Biomedical Engineering researcher and caregiver for my wife with PD.

Highlights

Stress-Anxiety-Sleep Disorders -Neural Damage Chain, Parkinsonism and Parkinson’s Disease “Parkinsonism” is a constellation of signs and symptoms that are characteristically observed in “Parkinson’s disease (PD)”, but that are not necessarily due to PD
The main objective of this research is focus on four factors that form a kind of a chain connection between them, they are: “StressAnxiety-Sleep disorders-neural damage cyclic chain that affect the progression of Parkinson’s disease”, the initial factor could be any
Current estimates of PDrelated “sleep disturbance” indicate that up to 98% of PD patients exhibit some symptoms of “sleep disturbance”, often with significant daytime impairment reported in the research paper of “T.J. et al Swick in the Parkinson’s disease and sleep/ wake disturbances” [8,9]

Summary

Research Article

Theory of Stress-Anxiety-Sleep Disorders-Neural Damage Cyclic Chain and the Progression of Parkinson’s Disease. “The Theory of Stress-Anxiety-Sleep Disorders-Neural Damage cyclic chain and the progression of Parkinson’s disease “, it is explained with concept involved, many reasons to be included in the theory and their relations to previous conclusions/suggestions of many researchers papers already publish, and recommendations to develop good habits in PD patients, with correct attitude and actions to implement the theory to help in the goal of achieve a decrease in the progression of Parkinson’s disease. They are concentrated as “The 7 most important recommendations for PD patients and their caregivers”
