If someone found a cure for Parkinson’s, would a sufferer return to normal?
What I mean is, would that person return to how they were before the disease came on?

Maybe, There is a drug called COGANE being developed at the moment & the early test results for that have shown that it helps the brain recover from the damage Parkinson’s has caused.
In PD the dopamine producing cells die, COGANE may help the lost cells grow back…..In which case hopefully the sufferer would return to some degree of normality. It is still in test stage though if it fails the tests it will not become available.
Well. Usually cures get RID of the condition. So yea. They’d no longer have it. Hence they are cured.
Just as people who no longer have cancer are cured.
That would probably depend on how long they had had the disease as to the level of long-term damage that may have been caused and it’s reversibility is likely to vary from one individual to the next.
It depends what you mean by ‘cure’. A lot of brain cells have died before Parkinson’s becomes symptomatic. Preventing deterioration would be a good start because that, with the present drugs, would give a reasonable quality of life for new sufferers.
Obviously return of the brain to ‘normal’ would be ideal but if too much dopamine is produced the results can be just as devastating as the original disease so a very cautious approach is necessary. As a number of family members have suffered from it (not blood related) including my mother I would love to see a ‘cure’ even if it just stabilised the condition for many more years.
