Parkinson's Disease Clinical Trial
Official title:
An Exploratory, Randomized, Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Trial of Folic Acid and L-methylfolate in Parkinson's Disease
This study is being conducted to assess the impact of folate and L-methylfolate on the progression of Parkinson's. The investigators are specifically looking for the effect of these nutritional supplements in Parkinson's patients who have an antibody that effects their body's utilization of folate. An antibody is a protein produced by the body's immune system to recognize foreign substances. Normally, people do not have an antibody that prevents folate from working properly in the brain but it appears that some people may have such an antibody. Folate is an important vitamin that takes part in many critical cell functions so an antibody that prevented it from entering the brain properly could cause or worsen certain neurological disorders like Parkinson's. The results of this preliminary study will help determine whether it is reasonable to proceed with further study of any of these supplements for the treatment of Parkinson's. Patients interested in participating will have a blood test to see if they have folate antibodies. Patients with the antibody will be eligible to further participate in the study. The investigators will measure the effects of folate and L-methylfolate on Parkinson's disease by measuring the change in your Parkinson's disease symptoms over three months of treatment. The investigators will also be looking at the blood of some individuals who do not have Parkinson's. This is called a control group and will allow us to compare how common the folate antibody is in the general population compared with the Parkinson's population.
