At no time in the past have the basic and clinical sciences applied to Parkinson's disease been so active. Experimental therapies under study at present promise to improve on the limitations of existing treatments. Future progress in understanding the causation and pathogenesis of the disorder will permit the development of new treatments that will slow, halt, or even reverse the currently inexorable progressive course of Parkinson's disease.
在过去，应用于帕金森病的基础科学和临床科学从未像现在这样活跃。目前正在研究的实验性疗法有望改善现有治疗方法的局限性。未来在了解该疾病的病因和发病机制方面取得的进展将促使开发出新的治疗方法，这些方法将减缓、阻止甚至逆转目前帕金森病不可阻挡的进展过程。
