Comparative Evaluation of the Hoehn and Yahr Scale and the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale in Recent Clinical Research for Parkinson’s Disease
Abstract Accurately assessing Parkinson’s disease (PD) progression is crucial in clinical trials to monitor disease severity and evaluate therapeutic efficacy. In the past five years, new insights have emerged into the utility and limitations of the Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) scale and the updated Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) in clinical research. This paper… Continue reading Comparative Evaluation of the Hoehn and Yahr Scale and the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale in Recent Clinical Research for Parkinson’s Disease
AI-Based Parkinson’s Severity Assessment
IntroductionParkinson’s disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by both motor and non-motor symptoms. Traditional methods for assessing PD severity often struggle with accuracy, especially in older patients. These methods typically rely on subjective expert evaluations or complex sensor-based systems, making standardization difficult. Recent advances in AI have opened new possibilities for more accurate,… Continue reading AI-Based Parkinson’s Severity Assessment

This comprehensive guide explores the latest developments in these wearable devices, their potential benefits, and the challenges that… Continue reading Wearable Technology for Better Sleep
Hearing Aids Delay Parkinson’s
Introduction Recent research has uncovered an unexpected link between hearing aids and a reduced risk of Parkinson’s disease (PD). A landmark study involving millions of U.S. veterans shows that hearing aids may delay Parkinson’s onset by addressing untreated hearing loss, a factor now believed to contribute to neurodegeneration. In this comprehensive post, we’ll break down… Continue reading Hearing Aids Delay Parkinson’s
