Update: New Study Finds Drugs like Ozempic Ineffective for Parkinson’s Treatment – read this closely as there are slight positive findings. A Lancet study found that the diabetes drug exenatide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, did not improve Parkinson’s symptoms compared to a placebo over two years. Researchers also found no changes in dopamine activity in the brain, suggesting that current GLP-1 drugs are not effective as Parkinson’s treatments. Golf Course Pesticides, Drinking Water & Parkinson’s Risk -These findings suggest that pesticides and herbicides used on golf courses could leach into drinking water and contribute to Parkinson’s risk. Two New Trials Explore Stem-Cell Therapy for Parkinson’s - Two new studies suggest that stem cell-based therapies may safely boost dopamine production in people with Parkinson’s. (I saw a comment from someone who said she felt great for 3 months and then it "wore off." She has since had DBS and told me once the stem cell therapy is perfected, she'll have her DBS programs turned and give stem therapy another try. Comments are closed.
