How To Manage Akinesia

Take Coenzyme Q10

We know coenzyme Q10 is a component of every cell in the body. We also know the cell controller in the mitochondria manages electron transport via coenzyme Q10. It has a role as an antioxidant as it controls cell membrane stability and ultimate death of the cell. Coenzyme Q10 insufficiency is associated with encephalomyopathy, cerebellar ataxia, and myopathy. Patients with these disorders have shown improvement by taking coenzyme Q10, which does mediate some lipid metabolism and has been employed in the intervention of heart and circulatory diseases. It has also been shown taking coenzyme Q10 has helped with Parkinson's disease and similar conditions, particularly with akinesia.

Ongoing trials for its efficacy are underway. There is much conjecture over coenzyme Q10 use, but objective medical data for use in nervous system problems like akinesia have yet to be definitively established.

Take Recommended Medication

Commonly, akinesia has been treated with levodopa along with carbidopa. The two interact and minimize side effects of the drugs taken singularly. Their akinesia mitigation results from the body's conversion of levodopa into dopamine. The conversion relieves muscle cramps along with tics and tremors. Lidocaine and hyalase have also been reported to be effective in akinesia. If patients are depressed and taking a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, they may have an interaction with dopamine. The inhibitor changes how the body processes internal dopamine resources. Injections of botulinum have been used to micromanage akinesia, but this is not medication patients would typically take.
