Golexanolone

A relatively new drug that is in clinical trial mostly being tested to help relieve cognitive and motor functions. It is hopefully to be used for Parkinson patients as well as those with hepatic encephalopathy in PBC. it was being tested in the laboratories and has been seen to restore spacial learning and motor coordination in animals with HE.

Many patients with cirrhosis experience subtle but disabling cognitive problems, sleepiness, and poor attention span. So far the studies have shown this drug to be effective with these problems for patients.
