What is the best known treatment (home/medical) to control progression of early Parkinson's disease?

Stem cells help to control progression of early Parkinson's disease

The results of stem cell therapy with multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MMSCs) both on animal models and in clinical trials confirm that such approaches may slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease and reduce symptoms, as well as lower adverse effects of existing medications.

Studies of efficacy and the safety of autologous or donor MMSCs when implanted into the specific regions of the brain have been conducted since 2009. About half of the patients showed a positive response within the observation period

• Reduced rigidity.
• Improved speech.
• Minimal tremors.
• Ability to do routine activities without much difficulty.
• Ability to walk for longer distances.
• Improved swallowing.
• Reduced involuntary movements.
• Increased independence during daily activities.
• Overall improvement assessed by the unified Parkinson’s disease rating scale

It was also noted that patients at an early stage of Parkinson’s disease treated with stem cells often did not experience disease progression and had more pronounced clinical improvement when compared to patients treated at the later stages of the disease
