Non-invasive Sound Energy Therapy Relieves Parkinson's Tremors /  La terapia con energia sonora non invasiva allevia il tremore del Parkinson Segnalato dal Dott. Giuseppe Cotellessa /  Reported by Dr. Giuseppe Cotellessa A procedure that applies pulses of focused ultrasound to the brain is safe and effective for reducing tremors and improving quality of life in people with essential tremor (ET) or Parkinson's disease (PD) tremor, according to a new study being presented next week at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). Tremors are rhythmic, involuntary muscle movements that cause shaking in one or more parts of the body, usually in the hands. They are characteristic of movement disorders like ET and PD, two progressive conditions that affect millions of people worldwide. Previous treatment options for reducing tremors in patients who have not responded to medical therapy include deep brain stimulation, a surgical proce

New Compound Targets the Link Between Poor Diet, Inflammation and Alzheimer's Disease /  Nuovo composto mira al legame tra dieta povera, infiammazione e malattia di Alzheimer Segnalato dal Dott. Giuseppe Cotellessa / Reported by Dr. Giuseppe Cotellessa Most recent headlines around neurodegenerative disease research are in the context of a multi-billion-dollar drug failure. But whilst there have been some (extremely expensive) setbacks for long-standing theories in the field, novel research directions have recently emerged that offer routes towards an effective therapy. These findings suggest that we might need to look at novel cells, brain areas, and even new areas of the body in order to understand and fight these complex conditions. “Let me just start out by saying that epidemiological  studies  have shown for some time that for two age-related neurodegenerative diseases, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, there seems to be a window of time during which anti-infla

The Neuroscience of Fibromyalgia: Causes, Diagnosis and Potential Treatments /  Le neuroscienze della fibromialgia: cause, diagnosi e trattamenti potenziali Segnalato dal Dott. Giuseppe Cotellessa / Reported by Dr. Giuseppe Cotellessa Have you ever wondered what it feels like to have fibromyalgia? For many, the experience looks something like this. You might be fine one day and wake up the next in relentless pain from head-to-toe. Your brain can feel like it’s packed with cotton, where even the seemingly trivial activity of having a conversation is a challenge. And when you try to figure out what is going on, you struggle to come up with patterns or a cause. You visit your doctor, with one test after another coming up negative. Without a visible origin, many fibromyalgia patients can go months or years without a diagnosis. In this article, we will take an in-depth look at fibromyalgia: what it is, what causes it, and how  researchers recommend finding relief What i
