A potential treatment emerges.

The world’s largest-ever clinical trial of treatments to slow or stop the progression of Parkinson’s disease has launched, led by researchers at UCL and Newcastle University.

Researchers in Northern Ireland examined whether exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) increases the risk of Parkinson’s disease. While no overall link was found after adjusting for confounders, younger adults under 50 showed a modest association with PM2.5, raising questions about age-related susceptibility and diagnostic misclassification.

With STAT-ON™, continuous monitoring of Parkinson’s symptoms can enhance treatment efficacy and significantly lower healthcare costs for patients and systems.
