A New Option For Patients

NMC Royal Hospital Sharjah just introduced a new treatment for advanced Parkinson’s disease. The medical team now offers VYALEV to eligible patients. This marks a major step in expanding neurological care across Sharjah and the northern emirates. Dr Ahmed Ebied recently treated a 58-year-old patient using this advanced method. The patient struggled with severe symptoms despite taking multiple daily medications.

The Challenge Of Standard Medication

Parkinson’s disease affects the brain and nervous system. Managing the condition becomes much harder over time. Standard tablets help many patients initially. However, the medication often stops working between scheduled doses. This drop in effectiveness causes muscle stiffness and difficulty walking. Patients often lose their independence during these difficult periods.

How The Continuous Pump Works

The 58-year-old patient experienced massive fluctuations in his daily mobility. Dr Ebied recommended VYALEV to provide consistent symptom control. The system delivers Parkinson’s medication continuously through a small, portable pump. The patient wears the device on his body all day. It provides a steady supply of medication over a 24-hour period. This prevents the severe drops in medication levels that cause sudden stiffness.

Successful Hospital Treatment

The patient stayed in the hospital for three days. The medical team carefully adjusted the pump settings during this time. They also trained the patient and his family to manage the device at home. The patient immediately experienced better movement and less pain. He no longer needs to take multiple tablets throughout the day.

Dr Ebied stated that continuous delivery helps carefully selected patients maintain their independence. Hospital executives confirmed their commitment to bringing advanced healthcare directly to the northern emirates. Stay informed on the latest medical breakthroughs happening across the GCC.
