Chorea
Chorea is a movement disorder characterized by sudden, irregular, and unintentional movements. These movements can affect various parts of the body, including the face, arms, and legs, making it difficult for individuals to maintain a steady posture or perform coordinated actions. Chorea can be caused by several factors, including genetic conditions like Huntington's disease, infections, or autoimmune disorders.
The symptoms of chorea can vary in severity and may come and go, often worsening with stress or excitement. Treatment typically focuses on managing symptoms and may include medications to help control the involuntary movements. Early diagnosis and intervention can improve the quality of life for those affected by chorea.
