Research Projects

I found research programmes not to do with finding a better treatment or cure Parkinson's but on ways to manage the symptoms of condition. Now I'm not sure whether I should only focus on projects that are searching for a better treatment.
This site (http://www.parkinsons.org.uk/research/current_research/life_with_parkinsons.aspx#compulsivebehaviour_piccini) gives a list of the research projects that Parkinson's UK is funding. But there is one that I found interesting: 


Should we start Parkinson's treatment earlier?


Professor Kailash wants to know if treating people with Parkinson's earlier helps the brain cope with losing dopamine nerve cells. If early treatment is beneficial this project could lead to changes in clinical practice.

• Project will cost  £109,795 and take over 2 years
