Safinamide improves executive functions in fluctuating Parkinson's disease patients: an exploratory study

Domiziana Rinaldi et al.

Summary: Safinamide, as a monoamine-oxidase-B inhibitor, has shown positive effects on executive functions in Parkinson's disease patients, improving attention and inhibition of cognitive interference. Add-on treatment with safinamide significantly increases scores on FAB, SWCT, and UPDRS-III, particularly enhancing motor programming and mental flexibility.

Selegiline reduces daytime sleepiness in patients with Parkinson's disease

Marco Gallazzi et al.

Summary: The study found that the use of selegiline improved excessive daytime sleepiness in Parkinson's disease patients significantly, but did not change the evaluation of disease severity. Therefore, selegiline may be a valuable add-on therapy to reduce daytime somnolence in PD patients.
