2026 NEWA single donor-derived FMT did not improve the primary motor outcome (MDS-UPDRS III OFF at 12 months) in PD, but produced significant improvements in several non-motor domains (total NMS score, GI dys...
Does staged, bilateral MRgFUS pallidothalamic tractotomy offer a favorable risk-benefit profile for advanced Parkinson's disease with motor complications?
Safety and efficacy of staged, bilateral magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound pallidothalamic tractotomy for motor complications of Parkinson's disease: a prospective, multicentre, single-arm trial
Bottom Line: Unilateral MRgFUS pallidothalamic tractotomy is safe and effective for Parkinson's disease motor complications. Adding contralateral (bilateral) treatment provides only small incremental motor benefit while substantially increasing the rate of persistent moderate/severe speech, gait, and balance complications (25% at 12 months vs 2% with unilateral). Bilateral procedures demand rigorous patient selection…

In this first positive phase 3 trial in ataxia-telangiectasia, levacetylleucine produced a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in SARA (treatment effect −1·88 points, 95...
In 90 patients with Hoehn & Yahr stage 1-1.5 Parkinson's disease, a single dose of LCE and LB produced similar plasma dopamine elevations at 90 and 180 minutes, with no significant between-group or in...

Can fixed-dose tavapadon, a selective D1/D5 agonist, improve motor function in early Parkinson disease while avoiding the adverse effects of D2/D3 agonists?
Does continuous subcutaneous infusion of levodopa or foslevodopa reduce daily OFF-time more effectively than oral levodopa in Parkinson's disease patients with motor fluctuations?
Does adding amantadine-IR early in levodopa therapy reduce the risk of developing dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease?
Does azathioprine, a broadly acting peripheral immunosuppressant, slow clinical progression in early Parkinson's disease as measured by the MDS-UPDRS gait-axial score?
Intrathecal BIIB094 was generally well tolerated with no drug-related serious adverse events and produced robust, dose-related lowering of CSF LRRK2 protein (up to 59%) and phosphorylated Rab10 (up to...
Branaplam 56 mg weekly lowered CSF mHTT by 25.2% (placebo-corrected) at week 17 but caused peripheral neuropathy in 85.7% of treated participants, leading to early termination and discontinuation of N...
Bilateral GPi tbTUS produced a clinically meaningful 4.1-point reduction in MDS-UPDRS-III at 30 min post-sonication (p=0.002), driven primarily by bradykinesia improvement; M1-only and dual-site M1+GP...
Home-based bilateral taVNS reduced MDS-UPDRS-III by 6.10 points and significantly improved quality of life, sleep, and autonomic function vs sham over 3 weeks, with elevated serum acetylcholine and re...
Bilateral M1-iTBS produced a 30.7% reduction in MDS-UPDRS Part III at 2 weeks (vs 14.3% sham, p=0.036) plus large improvements in depression (-47.6%) and anxiety (-37.9%), accompanied by increased cer...
