"Too early to say everyone should drink coffee. Still need further research to make a difference from previous research, "said Chief Researcher, Dr. Ronald Postuma, from McGill University in Montreal.
Caffeine in General is safe so it could be tested for some Parkinson's patients who have severe or those who are troubled with sleepiness.
In this study, and his colleagues tested Postuma randomly Parkinson's sufferer aged 61 people approximately 60 yearly. During the six weeks they asked to consume pills with caffeine content, placebo, and the drug-free pills.
The participant drank 100 milligrams of caffeine when they wake up, and then drink it again after lunch during the first three weeks. The dose is increased up to 200 milligrams taken twice a day for the rest of time research. As a comparison, a cup of brewed coffee contains about 100 milligrams of caffeine, while a 12 ounce soda has 30-50 milligrams of caffeine.
After a period of research, not found means to change problem sleepiness. However, they are having a change for Parkinson's symptoms, such as muscle stiffness and motion problems. On average, there has been a decrease in motion as much as five points of the scale of assessments.
"The five points on the scale is, on average, to say the least they better and easier. This is indeed a small change but has a real effect on people's lives, "he said.
However, the results of this research Postuma says yet to shift the main remedy Parkinson 's, synthesis of l-dopa. Parkinson's drugs has three to four benefits greater than what he had found. "For the time being may not be the answer for this invention to Parkinson's disease, but the forward could be is the solution," he said.
