One common thread to many of the poorly understood illnesses is their complexity. Diseases such as Parkinson’s Disease (PD) usually involve several genetic and environmental factors, not all of which are know. This complexity and the involvement of many factors make investigating such diseases even more difficult. However, by integrating information from several different sources, a better and clearer understanding could be achieved.

The availability of clinical data from different trials makes such data an attractive source for systemic research and meta-analysis. Examining disease-related patterns by meta-analysis can help gain better insight into disease-related characteristics and assist in finding new discoveries and insights. Moreover, by combining data from multiple clinical studies evaluating Parkinson’s disease with various outcome measures might help to leverage the improvement in efficacy by possible combination of treatments.

In this study we propose the meta-analysis of PD related data collected and combined from several clinical studies evaluating three different treatments for PD.
