Exploring the Possibility of Disease-Modifying Therapies
Research aimed at exploring therapies that could possibly change the course of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is rapidly evolving. Current Parkinson’s treatments mainly focus on managing symptoms because there are no disease-modifying therapies available at this time. But researchers are excited about the potential of current studies to improve, slow or someday stop PD.
