The Case to Realign Parkinson ’s Disease Research

Conclusion PD research is spread out in many directions, but after 50 years of trying, it is still decades away from finding a cure.  That realization must sink in to its participants before a change in approach is accepted. The requisite changes are: 1) a focus on multivariate solutions; 2) an overlay industry structure that coordinates the focus and funding of PD research and tracks performance and 3) a modified approach to FDA regulation.  Once these changes are put in place, the funding of PD research should be increased substantially over the next several years with the singular objective of finding a cure.
