Levodopa-Carbidopa
Dopamine replacement therapy for parkinsonian features. May provide symptom relief for motor features in PLA2G6-related parkinsonism, though response may be limited.
Intensive Physical Rehabilitation
Structured physical therapy focusing on gait training, balance exercises, and fall prevention. Essential for maintaining mobility and independence in progressive dystonia-parkinsonism.
Additional treatment options
Deep Brain Stimulation
Surgical implantation of electrodes in GPi or STN targets for refractory motor symptoms. May improve dystonia and parkinsonism in carefully selected patients.
procedureAntidystonic Agents
Muscle relaxants such as baclofen or anticholinergics like trihexyphenidyl for dystonia management. Used adjunctively or when dopaminergic therapy is insufficient.
medicationNeuropsychiatric Support and Counseling
Psychological support for depression, anxiety, and cognitive changes common in neurodegeneration. May include cognitive behavioral therapy and medication management for mood symptoms.
