Huntington's disease is dangerous, brain nervousness starts to die, this drug can protect
Huntington's disease is an incurable disease that damages the nerves of the brain. In a recent study, such a drug has been discovered, which can control its symptoms.
Huntington's disease is a rare genetic condition in which the nerves of the brain gradually begin to break. This causes physical and psychological symptoms. This disease usually occurs at the age of 30 to 50 years and it gradually becomes severe. There is no permanent cure for this disease so far.
However, a recent study has revealed that a beta-blocker drug used to treat heart disease and blood pressure problems can prove to be helpful in preventing and treating Huntington's disease.
Symptoms of Huntington's include uncontrolled movements, tremors, convulsions, difficulty in swallowing, not being able to speak clearly and trouble walking. Apart from this, the patient has trouble swallowing, speaking and walking over time.
Importance of Research
Researchers at the University of Iowa looked at the effects of the use of beta-blocker drugs on the symptoms of Huntington's disease. In this research, it was found that using beta-blocker drugs significantly slowed the appearance of Huntington's symptoms in those people.
More effect of the drug in this stage
Research suggests that beta-blocker drugs may be helpful in treating Huntington's disease, especially in the first stage of the disease. The researchers also reported that beta-blockers could be a potential therapy option in treating Huntington's.
