Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Early, untreated Parkinson's disease

You may qualify if:

  • Men and women between the ages of 40 and 80 years
  • Diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson's disease based on the UK PD Brain Bank criteria35
  • PD diagnosis within 5 years (≤ 5 years)
  • Hoehn and Yahr severity stage less than or equal to 3 (Mild to moderate bilateral disease; some postural instability; physically independent).36
  • Remain untreated with levodopa or a dopamine agonist for the duration of the study (up to 7 months, can have treatment with MAO-B inhibitors rasagiline or selegiline)
  • Able to understand and give informed consent for the study
  • Able to stand and walk unassisted

You may not qualify if:

  • Current use of dopamine-blocking therapy or significant history of dopamine-blocking therapy (\> 1 yr of daily use of the following: typical and atypical antipsychotics except for quetiapine and clozapine, metoclopramide, prochlorperazine, tetrabenazine, reserpine)
  • Autoimmune disease or current anti-inflammatory or immunomodulatory therapy (aspirin, Tylenol, ibuprofen, naproxen OK)
  • Other condition already causing gait dysfunction or likely to cause significant change in motor/gait function over 6 month period (i.e. knee or hip replacement within the past 6 months or surgery planned during the study, peripheral neuropathy causing impaired proprioception at big toes)
  • History of treatment with carbidopa/levodopa, dopamine agonist, or amantadine (can have history of treatment with MAO-B inhibitors rasagiline or selegiline)
  • Patient anticipates that they will require symptomatic treatment for PD within the next 6 months
