How To Manage Akinesia

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.
