Ranked Claims
AAV2-hAADC has shown early-phase safety and efficacy in Parkinson's disease but remains in early clinical stages.
ProSavin has shown early-phase safety and efficacy in Parkinson's disease but remains in early clinical stages.
Across newer neurosurgical and gene therapy approaches for Parkinson's disease, larger-scale controlled trials are still required to establish long-term safety and efficacy.
Deep brain stimulation is the most established neurosurgical technique for Parkinson's disease and has strong evidence for improving motor symptoms.
Focused ultrasound provides a noninvasive option for Parkinson's disease, but most related studies lack long-term data.
