Common drug lithium may put brakes on Parkinson's, early hints suggest

NCT ID NCT06592014

Summary

This study continues testing if low-dose lithium can slow Parkinson's disease progression. It enrolls 35 patients who have already finished a prior 24-week lithium trial. Researchers will adjust each person's lithium dose to reach a specific target level in the blood for another 24 weeks, then check for changes in brain scans and blood tests that might indicate the disease is slowing.
