Clinical research into neurological diseases is often hindered by a myriad of patient related problems. What can be done to overcome these issues and improve the efficacy of neuroscience trials? In the wake of the pandemic, new opportunities and challenges...
Recent research has focused on developing new antipsychotics, including those that address the need for efficacy without compromising psychiatric or physical well-being.
The gene therapy era can be said to have begun in 1990, when the first gene therapy clinical trial took place. Some 3,000 clinical trials have followed that first study, a resounding affirmation of innovators’ increasing recognition of gene therapy’s...
Gene therapy holds great promise as a potential treatment for Parkinson’s disease, a disorder for which currently available medications do not causally treat the underlying disease mechanisms. However, given the early stage of gene therapy research in this therapeutic area,...
Most patients with Binge Eating Disorder (BED) seek help from psychiatrists, nutritionists, or obesity specialists. But there was no approved, effective pharmacologic treatment.
Researchers have made many attempts at disease modification as they pursue breakthroughs in treating Parkinson’s disease, but so far without success. Why have these efforts failed, and what’s next in treating this degenerative disorder that affects an estimated 10 million...
Between 7 and 10 percent of the U.S. population suffers from some type of neuropathic pain, and a significant share of those affected require chronic pain treatment.1 This high rate of occurrence makes our limited understanding of these afflictions, and...
Neurodegenerative disorders present some of the biggest challenges in planning and conducting clinical drug trials. Identifying strategies to proactively address or mitigate these challenges can help to ensure a successful trial. Since the first drugs for neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) were...
