		</div><p>A drug has shown promising potential to tackle the debilitating movement side effects of medication used to treat Parkinson’s disease, a study has suggested.</p>
<p>Researchers looked at the effects of the drug NLX-112 on dyskinesia – involuntary movements – which is a common side effect in Parkinson’s sufferers who take levodopa-based medication for several years, Parkinson’s UK, which funded the study, said.</p>
<blockquote><p>With 145,000 people living with Parkinson’s in the UK, we are desperately in need of a breakthrough treatment and we’re committed to delivering one by 2024.</p></blockquote>

<p>Scientists from US biotech company Neurolixis tested Marmoset monkeys with Parkinson-like symptoms who had developed dyskinesia in response to levodopa treatment in a one-year study.</p>
<p>The results, published online in the journal Neuropharmacology, showed NLX-112 to successfully reduce the involuntary movement without reducing the effect of the levodopa, which other similar drugs do, Parkinsons UK said.</p>

<p>It is hoped the drug can be moved into clinical trials with humans as it has already been tested on diabetes patients to treat pain and was found to be well-tolerated and safe, the charity said.</p>
