A recent study linking human pegivirus to Parkinson’s is leading scientists to examine the connection between other viral infections and neurodegenerative diseases.

Gait changes such as swinging the arms differently and taking smaller, slower steps

AI can detect signs of Parkinson's disease by analyzing a person's voice as they read a single sentence. New research shows 85.7% accuracy—potentially transforming early screening and global access to care.

A University of Bristol study shows that trained dogs can detect Parkinson's disease with 80% sensitivity by identifying odors in skin swabs, potentially enabling earlier diagnosis.

Backing up her claims for a lower risk of Parkinson's, one study found that "among both healthy individuals and patients with PD [Parkinson’s disease], caffeine consumption was significantly associated with a lower HR [hazard risk] for the risk or progression of PD, respectively."

Trained dogs were able to detect Parkinson’s disease from skin swabs with up to 80% accuracy.   This method could lead to a faster, non-invasive

The usually harmless Human Pegivirus has been found in brain samples from Parkinson’s patients. Researchers say this is the first time it’s been found in brain tissue.

Parkinson’s disease doesn’t begin in the brain at all—it starts in the digestive system, sometimes decades before the first tremor appears.

Heavy metal rocker Ozzy Osbourne died this week at 76, about five years after announcing he had Parkinson’s disease.

Over the course of his storied music career, rock icon Ozzy Osbourne faced health battles with substance abuse and Parkinson's disease.
