- Abstract
The article presents the outlook of therapies for Parkinson's disease for 2030. It explores the developments of several therapies in Parkinson's disease including gene therapy, cell replacement, and electrical and optical stimulation for the brain. It also predicts the number of therapeutic opportunities for Parkinson in 2015 including the add-ons for the classic L-DOPA treatment, the ongoing development of drugs that affect glutamate receptor mGluR5, and the investigation concerning the beneficial effect of deep brain simulation (DBS) on non-motor symptoms. It also notes the knowledge and therapies in genetics that can be linked to the disease and the approach of plugging new cells or cell replacement into the affected area of the brain as well as the potentials of embryonic stem cells.
