Parkinson's patients who experience uncontrollable spasms could be treated with a course of ketamine, researchers have found ...

Researchers uncovered new findings about involuntary muscle movements that come with long-term administration of Parkinson's drug levodopa.

Researchers have uncovered a new understanding of levodopa-induced dyskinesia, a common side effect in Parkinson’s patients, ...

University of Arizona researchers uncovered how levodopa-induced dyskinesia disrupts motor cortex function in Parkinson’s ...

The standard medication levodopa does not always work against tremors in Parkinson's disease, especially in stressful situations. Propranolol, however, does work during stress, providing insight into ...

Previous studies have shown that, compared with oral levodopa medication, continuous infusion of levodopa–carbidopa (duodopa) gel reduces motor complications in advanced Parkinson disease (PD).

While prasinezumab led to a numerical delay in motor progression without statistical significance, the effect was even more ...

Prasinezumab missed statistical significance in delaying motor progression in early Parkinson's (HR=0.84, p=0.0657).

For this reason, people with Parkinson’s usually take levodopa in combination with another drug, carbidopa, that inhibits the break down. Researchers have been working to see how much of a role ...

Roche has announced results from the Phase IIb PADOVA study evaluating prasinezumab in 586 individuals with early-stage Parkinson’s disease. Wh ...
