Panelists discuss how newer Parkinson disease therapies may impact dyskinesia management by potentially providing continuous dopaminergic stimulation that could prevent dyskinesia development if used early, though current evidence from phase 3 trials shows mixed results with improvements in good ON time (ON time without troublesome dyskinesia) but limited reduction in existing troublesome dyskinesia, suggesting that while these treatments offer promise, more research is needed to determine their effectiveness in reducing dyskinesia in patients who already experience it.

The movement disorder specialist and patient living with Parkinson disease highlighted the need for a more human-centered approach in managing chronic and progressive movement disorders. [WATCH TIME: 6 minutes]
