New treatment promising for Parkinson's
609549
An experimental treatment for Parkinson's disease seemed to improve symptoms &#151; dramatically so, for one 59-year-old man &#151; without causing side effects in an early study of a dozen patients. The gene therapy treatment involved slipping billions of copies of a gene into the brain to calm overactive brain circuitry.
