Dr. Ritu Jha, Director & HOD - Neurology at Sarvodaya Hospital, Faridabad, emphasizes the emerging advancements in neurodegenerative disorder (NDD) treatments. Traditional therapies, including dopamine agonists for Parkinson’s and cholinesterase inhibitors for Alzheimer’s, help manage symptoms but do not halt disease progression. However, cutting-edge approaches such as gene therapy, optogenetics, immunotherapy, molecular-targeted treatments, stem cell therapy, and neuromodulation techniques offer new hope for slowing disease progression and improving patients' quality of life. With the rising prevalence of dementia projected to reach 152 million by 2050, extensive research into innovative therapies and preventive strategies remains crucial.
