Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The clinical manifestations of Parkinson's disease (PD), a chronic neurodegenerative condition, include resting tremor, hypokinesia, bradykinesia, stiffness and postural instability. These motor symptoms are caused by a selective loss and degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) region, which leads to a dopamine (DA) insufficiency in the striatum

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control group

Control group (Levo-dopa group, n =30) who will receive levodopa/carbidopa (125/12.5 mg) three times daily for 6 months

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Levodopa Carbidopa

Intervention Type DRUG

Carbidopa/levodopa, also known as levocarb and co-careldopa, is the combination of the two medications carbidopa and levodopa. It is primarily used to manage the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

Vinpocetine group

Patients will receive levodopa/carbidopa (125/12.5 mg) three times daily plus vinpocetine 10 mg three times daily for 6 months

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Levodopa Carbidopa

Intervention Type DRUG

Carbidopa/levodopa, also known as levocarb and co-careldopa, is the combination of the two medications carbidopa and levodopa. It is primarily used to manage the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

Vinpocetine

Intervention Type DRUG

VIN, a phosphodiesterase-1 (PDE1) inhibitor, reduces oxidative stress and neuroinflammation and is used clinically for cerebrovascular disease and dementia. In PD, VIN increases dopamine levels, protects dopaminergic neurons, reverses motor impairments, and reduces inflammatory mediators
