A series of clinical trials have tested an experimental treatment for Parkinson's disease that uses a novel approach: administering the drug straight into the brain via implanted ports. The leading researchers believe this may be a "breakthrough" therapeutic strategy for neurological conditions.
When they analyzed the results of the first 9-month (40-week) trial, the researchers saw no changes in the brains of participants who had received a placebo. However, they noted that volunteers who had received the GDNF treatment had a 100 percent improvement in the putamen, the brain region which contains dopamine-producing cells.
