Virtual Team Parkinson's Research

Dr. Jack Harless
Team Captain



This week we looked at research that examined patterns in the quality of life of Parkinson' disease patients prior to diagnosis. Researchers have documented declines in physical and mental health, pain, and emotional health beginning several years before the onset of the disease and continuing thereafter. The hope is that with future research of this kind, biological markers of the disease process may be recognizable in this preclinical phase, which can lead to early treatment.
