Nightmares are a Sign of Which Disease?

New research shows that older people with nightmares can develop incurable mental illness Parkinson's.

A large number of people in the world have dreams in their sleep, some are dreamy, some are scary and some are dreams that are seen with awake eyes but here we are informing you about a new research in this regard. 

A study in the United States found that older people who have nightmares are more likely to develop future incurable mental illnesses such as Parkinson's disease, meaning that nightmares can lead to early detection of Parkinson's disease in older people. 

Abidimi Otaiko, author of a study on the Center for Human Mental Health at the University of Birmingham, and his team reviewed data from more than 3,800 older men in the United States who participated in the 12-year study. Provided extensive information about his sleep.

The study found 91 cases of Parkinson's disease in men, and those who at the beginning of the study identified frequent nightmares were twice as likely to be infected with Parkinson's than others.

Team leader Abidimi Otaiko explained that more research is needed in this area, but nightmares can indicate that people who see a change in their dreams in old age for no apparent reason. They should seek medical advice.

It is important to note that although early diagnosis of Parkinson's disease is helpful, early detection of the risk is very difficult and requires very expensive tests or non-specific tests such as diabetes.

Remember that Parkinson's is an incurable disease in which the nerve cells in the brain of infected people die. The disease gradually grips a person, it is still an incurable disease, the symptoms of which are very obvious, the hands of people with Parkinson's tremble, for them to hold a cup of tea or even a spoon to their mouth. It becomes difficult or even impossible.

Patients with this disease are mostly treated with drugs that aim to balance the amount of dopamine in the brain. The disease cannot be cured by surgery.

In such operations, a small generator is placed under the skin, which is intended to stimulate certain parts of the brain. The only difference is that such patients have to take a small amount of medicine, otherwise the disease is incurable and scientists around the world are busy finding ways to cure it.

World-renowned boxer Muhammad Ali also suffered from Parkinson's disease, as well as former US President Theodore Roosevelt and prominent painter Salvador Daly.
