New approaches to treatment include deep brain simulation and cell transplantation with stem cells.
Some treatments currently being studied involve fetal cell transplantation, the use of stem cells, and gene therapy.
However, there are concerns that patients may have the same risk of increased involuntary movements as those who undergo fetal cell transplantation.
The medical part of the research focuses on cell transplantation, gene therapy and finding new drugs.
These results implicated therapies that can directly remuscularize the heart without the need for cell transplantation.
As a result, cell transplantation markedly improved the motors functions of the patients in the first few years.
Even if fetal midbrain cell transplantation is not a long-term solution, it can still treat patients with Parkinson's for several years.
In some cases bone marrow and blood stem cell transplantation might help.
The results provide evidence that this method of cell transplantation is a potential strategy for repairing spinal cord damage in the future.
A study has shown that cell transplantation may cause an increase in body temperature of a subject with an older injury to the spinal cord.
