What is Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement, balance, and cognition. It is characterized by the gradual deterioration of certain brain cells in areas responsible for controlling eye movements, coordination, and thinking.



Key features of PSP include:



  • Motor Symptoms: PSP often leads to difficulties with balance and coordination, resulting in unsteady walking, frequent falls, and stiffness or rigidity of muscles.

  • Eye Movement Problems: Individuals with PSP may experience difficulties with eye movements, including blurred vision, difficulty focusing, and problems controlling eyelid movements.

  • Cognitive Impairment: As the disease progresses, cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and problem-solving may be affected, leading to difficulties in thinking and decision-making.

  • Behavioral and Emotional Changes: PSP can also cause changes in mood, personality, and behavior, including depression, apathy, and social withdrawal.



Unfortunately, there is currently no cure for PSP, and treatment focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life. Supportive therapies, such as physical and occupational therapy, speech therapy, and medications, may be recommended to alleviate specific symptoms and enhance daily functioning.
