Recently, there's been a documentary on the BBC about a drug trail for Parkinson's Disease. It was rather sad to watch because although some improved on the GDNF drug (which is supposed to help restore brain cells in areas that control movement where it's delivered) and clearly felt that it was working for them, the trial didn't achieve it's main outcome and the pharmaceutical companies have pulled out of this research and aren't going to fund any more research into neuroscience, which doesn't help anyone except them.
The people who worked on the trial seem to be convinced it works and needs further research, but they need funding to carry on. Parkinson's UK are trying to raise funding for this to happen.
I feel that we're in danger of losing what could be one of the best treatments for Parkinson's Disease that could lead to a treatment for brain injury if it's proven to work.
