Parkinson Research Updates — Dr. Lungu

Main Points:

  • Key recent and active developments in understanding PD include disease heterogeneity, its involvement of the whole body, and the importance of the prodromal period.

  • Progress in symptomatic therapy of both motor and non-motor features has improved therapeutic options.

  • Active research in disease-modifying therapy includes gene therapy, GLP-1 agonists, exercise, and others.

  • Participation in clinical trials is key to research progress, but it needs to be undertaken with a clear understanding of what research studies are
