In this age of digital technology, Internet, and social media we are increasingly subjected to an information and disinformation overload. This includes not only political and economic information but also medical news, which is often presented as a "new discovery", "miracle cure" or some other press hyperbole. In this viewpoint article we present patient and scientific perspectives some recent episodes of medical hype related to Parkinson's disease research, including proposed therapies such as nilotinib, marijuana, stem cells and other controversial therapies that have attracted the mainstream and social media. We conclude by emphasizing the importance of vigilance on the part of patients and physicians when interpreting these often exaggerated and/or unfounded health claims. © 2017 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.
在这个数字技术、互联网和社交媒体的时代，我们越来越受到信息和虚假信息的轰炸。这不仅包括政治和经济信息，还包括医学新闻，这些新闻通常被宣传为“新发现”、“奇迹疗法”或其他一些媒体炒作。在这篇观点文章中，我们从患者和科学的角度呈现了一些与帕金森病研究相关的最近的医学炒作事件，包括提议的治疗方法，如尼罗替尼、大麻、干细胞和其他一些引起主流和社交媒体关注的有争议的治疗方法。我们最后强调了患者和医生在解释这些经常被夸大和/或毫无根据的健康声明时保持警惕的重要性。 © 2017 国际帕金森病和运动障碍协会。
