First seen Mar 22, 2026 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tested whether pimavanserin, a drug already approved for hallucinations in Parkinson's, can reduce impulse control disorders like compulsive gambling or shopping. 117 adults with Parkinson's and moderate-to-severe impulse issues took the drug or a placebo for 8 weeks. The goal was to see if symptoms improved without worsening movement problems.
