chorea
Chorea is a movement disorder characterized by irregular, rapid, and unintentional movements. These movements can affect various parts of the body, including the face, arms, and legs, making it difficult for individuals to control their actions. Chorea can be caused by several factors, including genetic conditions, infections, or autoimmune diseases.
One well-known type of chorea is Huntington's disease, a hereditary disorder that leads to progressive motor dysfunction and cognitive decline. Treatment for chorea often focuses on managing symptoms and may include medications to help reduce the severity of the movements. Early diagnosis and intervention can improve quality of life for those affected.
