🚨Exciting NEWS!👇

Prasinezumab, which is at the leading-edge of medications being developed to slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease, is moving into Phase III testing. If successful, the trial’s findings ultimately could be used to request approval from regulatory agencies, like the FDA, for widespread use.

The hallmark of Parkinson’s in the brain is the build-up of proteins that destroy dopamine neurons. Scientists hope the drug, developed by Roche, could bind to those toxic proteins and limit their damaging effects on the brain. Breaking this cycle could stop the damage that causes Parkinson’s symptoms to get progressively worse over time — and even halt the disease entirely, so that symptoms could be minimized or potentially never emerge.

A phase III trial tests a drug in a large number of people over the course of months to years in order to gauge the drug’s effectiveness, side effects and safety. Details on the prasinezumab trial size and length have yet to be announced. Read more: https://bit.ly/3I2FM7i

“This study shows that both LSVT LOUD and EMST are safe and manageable for people with mild to moderate Parkinson’s disease. This study also shows that both LSVT LOUD and EMST can help swallowing, voice and cough, but in different ways. So, people with Parkinson’s disease and their clinicians can choose the right therapy for their needs or use both complimentarily.”

People with Parkinson’s Disease often have trouble swallowing and speaking.

“La fama me encontró muy joven, pero fue el Parkinson quien me enseñó a vivir de verdad.” 🧠💔

Cuando era apenas un adolescente, la actuación me salvó de una vida normal. A los 15 años dejé la escuela para perseguir un sueño en Hollywood. Lo logré. Fui el chico gracioso, el favorito de todos en Volver al Futuro. Pero lo que nadie sabía era que mi vida iba a cambiar más rápido que un viaje en el DeLorean. A los 29 años, en la cima del éxito, un médico me dio una noticia que me rompió el alma: tenía Parkinson. 🥲🕰️

Al principio lo escondí de todos. Me aterraba que pensaran que estaba acabado. Durante años, filmé escenas mientras mi mano temblaba fuera de cámara. Cada vez que la gente me aplaudía, yo solo pensaba en cuándo perdería el control de mi cuerpo por completo. No podía dormir. Me refugié en el alcohol. Fue una época oscura. Pensé en renunciar a todo. Pero mi esposa y mis hijos fueron mi ancla. Me hicieron ver que podía transformar ese dolor en propósito. 🥃👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Decidí dejar de ocultarlo. Lo dije al mundo y me convertí en activista. Fundé una organización para luchar contra el Parkinson y desde entonces hemos recaudado más de mil millones de dólares para la investigación. La gente pensaba que el chico de las películas ya no tenía nada más que ofrecer, pero ahora uso mi voz, mis temblores, mi historia… para motivar a otros a seguir luchando. 🎤🔥

He caído. Me he roto. He perdido movilidad, equilibrio, e incluso parte de mi memoria. Pero nunca he perdido la esperanza. Porque cuando eliges ver la vida con gratitud, aún en medio del caos, encuentras fuerza en lugares inesperados. 🌪️🙏

“A veces, lo que más miedo te da es justo lo que más te hace crecer. Y aunque no elijas la batalla, sí puedes elegir no rendirte.” 🌿✨

– Michael J. Fox
