In a nutshell This study investigated the safety and effectiveness of CVT-301 (Inbrija) for the treatment of wearing-off symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease. Researchers suggested that this treatment was effective in improving off periods with no significant differences in side effects compared to standard levodopa. Some background...

In a nutshell This study investigated the long-term complication of Parkinson's disease and its treatment. Researchers suggested that dyskinesia is related to the severity of Parkinson's disease rather than early levodopa use. Some background Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic disease that affects brain cells that control body...

In a nutshell This study investigated the effects of a combined gait (walking) training (GT) with music therapy to treat patients with Parkinson's disease. Researchers suggested that GT combined with music-based therapy improves the outcomes of these patients. Some background Parkinson's disease is a brain disease that affects 60,000 Americans...

In a nutshell This study investigated the long-term effectiveness and safety of amantadine extended-release (Gocovri) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and dyskinesia (DYS; unusual movements that a person cannot control). Researchers suggested that this treatment is associated with long-term improved outcomes. Some background PD is a...

In a nutshell This study investigated the effectiveness of balance training with and without auditory cues (AC) in Parkinson's disease (PD). Researchers suggested that balance training with AC improves the effectiveness of treatment. Some background Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic disease of the brain. Brain cells are affected and...

In a nutshell This study investigated the effectiveness of sublingual apomorphine (Apokyn) in the treatment of off times in patients with Parkinson's disease. Researchers suggested that this treatment might be a safe and effective option for the treatment of these patients. Some background Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most...
Read MoreIn a nutshell This study reviewed the effectiveness of levodopa/carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG) in the treatment of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Researchers suggested that LCIG is a safe option for the treatment of these patients. Some background Parkinson's disease (PD) affects brain cells. These cells control many mental and...

In a nutshell This study reviewed the effectiveness of non-surgical or pharmacological treatments for freezing of gait (FOG) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Some background FOG is a brief inability to step forward when trying to walk. It is a common PD symptom caused by the loss of abilities of brain cells. FOG increases the risk...

In a nutshell This study investigated the effectiveness of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the treatment of freezing of gait in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Researchers suggested that DBS improves the gait of these patients. Some background PD is a chronic disease associated with physical and mental symptoms. Each year, around 60,000...

In a nutshell This study investigated the effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in 2 places in the brain in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD)-associated pain. Researchers suggested that DBS improves the pain in these patients. Some background PD is a chronic disease that affects the brain cells. These cells lose their abilities to control...
Read MoreIn a nutshell This study investigated the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) technology in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD). Researchers suggested that VR is associated with improved gait (walking) and balance in these patients. Some background Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common brain disease that affects brain cells. These cells...
