March 18, 2021, Hattingen, Germany – Clinic for Neurology 

 

Dear Mrs,

dear colleague,

We report on the above-mentioned patient, who is here on March 18, 2021 in

presented to our outpatient clinic.

Mr. P.   reported that he had one for the first time around spring 2020

Noticed changes in the motor function of the left half of the body, including in

form of cramping of the toes on the left side. In the summer of 2020

there was also a left-sided fine motor impairment. As part of

a neurological consultation, the diagnosis is a probable one

Parkinson's disease has been placed, which ultimately includes a

I have confirmed the DATScan that has been carried out. He also has LDopa for a few days

taken, but this ended again due to ineffectiveness.

Upon closer enquiry, it turns out that the dosage

was only 2 x 50 mg levodopa.

In addition, there have been problems sleeping through the night for a long time

also a slight depression, he takes 2 mg Circadin for this

in the evening. The smell is good, the bladder and intestinal motor skills

stated as undisturbed.

Relevant previous illnesses are denied.

Current medication: Circadin 2 mg in the evening, as well as various dietary supplements

such as vitamins Bund D and on the part of the

Substances prescribed by naturopaths, among other things, to strengthen the mitochondrial

Function.

Mental Findings: Alert, conscious and oriented. mnestic

and cognition intact. Mood and drive balanced. No clue

for content or formal thought disorders. No indication of current

Danger to self or others.

 

Neurological findings: no hypomimia, no dysarthria, no evidence of cranial nerve disorders.

Discreet postural tremor on the left. Bradydysdiadochokinesis on the left, reduced tapping on the left. left side

rigor. Slightly bound posture on the left side, brisk walking, reduced arm swing on the left, also subjective

not as fluid and loose on the left as on the right. No indication of paresis, no indication of sensory disturbances.

 

Assessment: Taking into account the anamnestic information and the current clinical-neurological impression, Mr. P. has Parkinson's syndrome with left-sided motor symptoms as mentioned above. Today's understanding of the disease was detailed

discussed with a focus also on the premotor disorders and the importance of gut and

microbiome. In this context, the special complementary concept of our

Anamnese:

Mr. P.   introduces himself to me for the first time. He reports that in 2020 he initially had cramps during sports training

of the left foot to have noticed. In the course of this, the fine motor skills will also gradually improve

left hand and fingers have been increasingly restricted. He noticed an aggravation of the symptoms

under cold and stress. He would feel more comfortable, especially when it was warm. In the course then also be a

hyposmia. No constipation. No urge to urinate.

 

A cMRI had been unremarkable with no structural evidence for a secondary genesis. The DaTSCAN examination

from January 2021 showed - matching a sporadic Parkinson's syndrome - a presynaptic one

dopaminergic deficit right> left with emphasis on the putamen.

The family history is positive. The paternal aunt also suffers from Parkinson's syndrome.

So far no Parkinson's-associated medication.

Non-medicinally, he carries out Traditional Chinese Medicine as well as curative practical exercises. Also

he was active in Qigong.

Clinical-neurological examination findings:

Alert, well-oriented patient. Friendly towards. No meningism. No aphasia. No dysarthria.

Discreet hypomimia. Cranial nerve status downright. No manifest or latent paresis. Under

Co-nervation slight rigidity on the left side. slight hypobradykinesis on the left side. Discreet rigor with aggravation

during concentration exercises. No dystonia. Muscle reflexes can be triggered medium-lively on the same side.

Getting up from the chair is smooth. Gait pattern fluent with discreetly propulsive posture as well

reduced swinging of the left arm. No postural instability. standing and gait tests.

Surface sensitivity stated intact on same side.

Further additional examinations:

In terms of therapy, we discussed the possibility of therapy with AZILECT 1 mg 1-0-0. Mr P wanted

are still considering when exactly they want to start medication. We discussed the concept

that in the context of Parkinson's disease, especially in the case of clinically relevant limitations

Medication as early as possible can make sense to support the dopaminergic system.

In addition, we discussed the importance of regular, self-motivated physical activity,

as in the context of current Qigong activities, but also gladly supplemented by ergotherapy and physiotherapy

to promote mobility and fine motor skills, especially with regard to the long-term course of the

Illness.

Due to the positive family history and the young age of onset, we discussed the indication

for human genetic testing for possible gene variants that are causal or associated

with present Parkinson's disease. This can certainly result in new cause-specific

Therapy options result.

Only variants (SNVs/Small lndels) with a population frequency (MAF) < 1.5% within the

coding regions as well as in flanking intronic regions (±8 bp). Known disease triggers

Variants (according to HGMD) are scored in flanking regions up to ±30 bp and up to a MAF < 5%.

1. Imaging Studies:

 

Chest X-ray: normal cardiothoracic index. No mediastinal abnormalities. Enhancement of the bilateral lung diagram with the presence of a 5.8mm calcium micronodule in the right lung base.

 

1. Neuropsychological assessment:

 

Orientation: Preserved worldwide in person, time and place.

Attention: Vigilance is adequate and there are no changes in executive attention and selective attention.

Memory: In the verbal modality, the ability for short-term fixation and recall is preserved. In the word learning test, he achieved an average of 7.5 in three repetitions. Working memory with no changes was observed on the digit retention task, where he could inversely recall up to 5 digits. The explicit semantic and episodic memory subsystems do not show changes shown in the semantic fluency task. On the other hand, in the learning test it shows a productive serial position curve with an increasing trend, which shows that the learning process for auditory-verbal information has been preserved. Over the long term, he was able to evoke 6 out of 10 elements in this modality. In the visual modality he showed no difficulty in short-term retention as demonstrated in the SKT where he was able to evoke 9/12 elements. In the long term he was able to evoke 70% of the elements in this modality. With the help of cues in recognition tasks, he managed to recover 100% in both modalities, expressing the integrity of bilateral temporomesial structures.

Language: Expressive: without changes. Repetitive: conserved and denominative: without changes

Impressive: Shows no difficulties in understanding - when carrying out instructions or when coding sentences with complex logical-grammatical structures

He received a score of 4 on the Hamilton scale, which corresponds to normal without depression.

Cognition: Global: Conserved. MMSE from 29./30.

Conclusions:

In general, in the neuropsychological examination carried out, no significant changes in higher mental functions were observed, noting only a slight decrease in tasks requiring cognitive flexibility, while maintaining the rest of the cognitive domains assessed. From a cognitive point of view, there is no impairment. (MMSE: 29). No emotional involvement or behavioral changes were reported.           _cc781905-5cde-3194 -bb3b-136bad5cf58d_

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REHABILITATION

​

Summary of rehabilitation treatment

 

Patient who has a good motor condition and shortly after the diagnosis of the disease, in addition to the daily exercises in his country, after the motor examination was carried out, was able to detect a slight decrease in the mobility of the MSI, which makes the arm swing, with this arm in relation is lower on MSD and occasional discrete hypokinesia. He does not take any medication and is included in the treatment with NEUROEPO. The neurorehabilitation lasted two weeks, so the objectives proposed for the phase were aimed at the following aspects.

​

• Maintain general physical abilities.

• Promote posture correction.

• Improve mobility, hemibody joint width and affection.

• Improve movement coordination.

• Reeducate gait patterns.

 

Significant improvements were observed in the following aspects.

​

• He has assimilated the gradual increase in loads, which is reflected in the increase in his physical performance and improvement in his breathing capacity.

• It creates coordination and balance exercises with greater safety and complexity.

FINAL REPORT OF THE TREATMENT OF DEFECTOLOGY

Goals.

1. Increase muscle strength, mainly at the distal level of the left upper limb.

2. Stimulate higher thought processes.

3. Improve general and manual coordination of active movements in terms of precision, rhythm and speed.

 

Results

The neurorestorative, multifactorial, intensive and personalized treatment he received in our institution included the defectology in which the above objectives were proposed with the appropriate skills.

The general and manual dynamic coordination of active movements was favored, he can do the exercises simultaneously, in different directions, alternately and sequentially and combined with the legs, makes the assembly of small pins, works with the psychomotor boards and tuned to the quality required , reproduced figures in the mosaic, with and without model, performs the upper distal clamping, high-quality threading, correlation activities (remove-set, screw-unscrew, open-close) etc. basically with the arm through the left, where there are slight difficulties in executing finer movements there.

Work to maintain muscle strength was done with the right upper limb and this ability was favored in the left where the patient reported showing greater muscle fatigue when performing exercises.

The stimulation of the psychic processes was carried out, especially the higher thought processes, where the patient's ability to assemble puzzles quickly and with quality was demonstrated.

We recommend continuing maintenance therapy according to the proposed goals.

 

GENERAL DEFECTOLOGICAL RECOMMENDATIONS

 

1. Massage therapy in the upper extremity has an effect.

• Digital clamping with all fingers from the index finger to the little finger and vice versa with both hands at the same time.

• Digital clamping with all fingers, starting right from the index finger to the little finger and left from the little finger to the index finger at the same time.

 

5- Coarse and fine precision exercises.

• Psychomotor and precision boards.

​

prescribe dashes. With excessively large beats and gradually decreasing until normality is reached.

 

Repetition of letters, syllables. With exaggeratedly large font and gradually decreasing until reaching normality.

 

Writing words, sentences and texts. Same as the previous one.

 

 6.- Training activities and stimulation of cognitive processes.

 

1. Read newspapers, magazines and books and then comment on the topic read. (start with short and simple texts that arouse interest in the patient).

2. Watch TV shows and comment on what you watch.

3. Perform activities found in hobbies aimed at training memory, attention, orientation, thinking, and executive functions to the best of their ability.

4. Get outside help if needed

5. Pay more attention to anything you need to store in your memory.

6. Constantly repeat anything you need or want to remember until you achieve it.

7. Make associations that help remember specific information.

9. Look at pictures, maps, figures, etc., and then, without seeing them, try to represent them in a drawing.

10. Remember lists of related and unrelated words, include words with no meaning.

11. Remember synonyms and antonyms of selected words.

12. Selective crossing out of letters, syllables, numbers, figures etc.

13. Remember to repeat digits from 4 left to right and vice versa, increasing up to 10 digits. Example: 3-4-5, 9-6-4-2, 5-4-3-2, 8-3-6-7, increase in complexity as accepted.

14. Memory game in different categories.

15. calculations.

SUMMARY REPORT OF LOGOPETIC TREATMENT

​

Diagnosis: No speech pathology.

Patient with Parkinson's disease, dysarthric disorder has not yet occurred, we have developed a prophylactic speech therapy treatment. (health education)

​

SUGGESTED WORK GOAL:

Prophylaxis of speech disorders, phonobreathing and facial mimicry.

GET RESULTS:

Patient who comes to therapy for a short time (10 days) with great enthusiasm and interest, very cooperative, in terms of orientation and preparation for speech therapy care, despite the short treatment time, the exchange was beneficial:

- Learn and practice orolinguofacial gymnastics based on the amplitude, speed, precision and coordination of movements with total independence

- Practiced facial expressions and facial expressions with very good results

- Does the costodiaphragmatic breathing pattern work. The inspiratory and expiratory capacity has been slightly increased.

-He worked on better phono-respiratory coordination with an emphasis on voice intensity.

- He worked on the basis of better intonation, expressiveness and rhythm and fluency of the emission.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

Maintain the therapy in a targeted manner, taking into account the progressive course of the disease.

I report on her outpatient examination on March 7, 2023 at the Institute for EEG

Neurofeedback (IFEN) in Baldham.

They reported that they had suffered from mild Idiopathic Parkinson's Syndrome for years

multimodal with various drug and non-drug procedures without

Use of dopamine or classic dopamine agonists. Underneath it is rather closed

moderate improvement in symptoms.

The neurological finding shows a slight postural and action tremor

become.

At rest, the EEG shows a well-developed, stable and well-modulated alpha

Basic rhythm with a frequency of 8 Hz and amplitudes around 30 myV. the visual

Blocking reaction is sufficient. Hyperventilation was not performed. No

Signs of increased cerebral excitability. As a result, the EEG is considered normal too

assess, in particular no general change, no focus findings, no indications of

epileptic changes.

The derived late visual evoked potentials (P 300) show normal

Latencies around 400 ms. it is striking that with normal amplitudes in the occipital, temporal and

central area the frontal amplitudes especially under fpl and fp2 atypical

are diminished. A side difference could not be determined with certainty.

The frontal reduction could be related to Parkinson's disease in that

the implementation of actions or ideas could be delayed

(Parkinsonian bradyphrenia). Another observation of this

The results of the investigation could therefore be useful in the course.

Judgement:

Clinically, there is a slight manifestation of Parkinson's disease, which was confirmed in the DATSCAN

with slight tremor and fine motor dysfunction of the left hand.

It is noteworthy that you have had a very good course so far without the use of dopamine-containing drugs. It cannot be said with certainty which of the alternative therapy methods they used contributed significantly to this.

From a neurological point of view, I recommend repeating the electrophysiological one

Investigations in about half a year to see a deterioration or a

to determine an improvement in the findings obtained.

You will receive the evaluation of the QEEG collected by Mr. F. separately.
