Chorea is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary movements that are sudden, irregular, and purposeless. These movements can affect any part of the body, and may be brief or prolonged. Chorea is often accompanied by other neurological symptoms such as muscle weakness, tremors, and speech difficulties.
Chorea can be caused by a variety of conditions, including genetic disorders, infections, autoimmune diseases, medications, and toxins. Some of the most common causes of chorea include:
Treatment of chorea depends on the underlying cause of the condition. In some cases, treatment may not be necessary if the chorea is mild and does not interfere with daily activities. If the chorea is severe or caused by an underlying condition, treatment may involve medications to control the movements, physical therapy to improve coordination and balance, or surgery in some cases.
Chorea can have a significant impact on quality of life, and may require ongoing management and support. If you or a loved one is experiencing symptoms of chorea, it is important to speak with a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
