This is an old study. The coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide ( N A D H ) improves the disability of Parkinsonian patients 1989 sci-hub.ru/10.1007/BF02263483

"The coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) has been used in an open label trial as novel medication in 34 patients with Parkinson's disease, using an intravenous administration technique. In all patients a beneficial clinical effect was observed. 21 patients (61.7%) showed a very good (better than 30%) improvement of disability, 13 patients (38.3%) a moderate (up to 30%) improvement. Concomitant with the improvement of the disability the urine level of homovanillic acid (HVA) increased significantly in all patients (in some patients by more than a 100%). The daily "on phases" of the patients could be increased from 2 up to 9 hours in the individual patients by N A D H administration."

Not something we can really try, but in the ballpark of things we can try.

Thanks Bolt_Upright, there is a lot of research on N A D H , P D, D o p a m i n a.

Here's another study from the same researcher:
