Huntington’s disease is a rare genetic condition in which the nerves in the brain gradually break down. This causes physical and psychological symptoms. This disease usually occurs at the age of 30 to 50 years and gradually becomes severe. There is no permanent cure for this disease yet.
However, a recent study suggests that beta-blocker drugs, used to treat heart disease and blood pressure problems, may be helpful in preventing and treating Huntington’s disease.
Symptoms of Huntington’s include uncontrolled movements, tremors, convulsions, difficulty swallowing, inability to speak clearly, and trouble walking. Apart from this, the patient also 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 Huntington’s disease symptoms. This research found that the use of beta-blocker medications significantly reduced the presence of Huntington’s symptoms in those people.
More effect of medicine in this condition
Research shows that beta-blocker medications may be helpful in treating Huntington’s disease, especially in the earlier stages of the disease. Researchers also reported that beta-blockers could be a potential therapy option in the treatment of Huntington’s.
