Brief Summary: This study was designed to evaluate the symptomatic effects of Coenzyme Q10 nanodispersed solution in middle-stage Parkinsons disease PD patients HoehnYahr II to III The treatment phase includes three months period of 300 mg Coenzyme Q10 per day or placebo

The primary outcome measure was the combined Unified Parkinsons Disease Rating Scale UPDRS Part II and III

The hypothesis of this study was that Coenzyme Q10 improves the energy status of the diseased dopaminergic neuronal cell type and thus producing more dopamine leading to an improvement of parkinsonian symptoms in PD patients
Detailed Description: This study was designed to evaluate the symptomatic effects of Coenzyme Q10 nanodispersed solution in middle-stage non-fluctuating Parkinsons disease PD patients HoehnYahr II to III The treatment phase includes three months period of 300 mg Coenzyme Q10 per day or placebo

The design of the study was a prospective randomized multicenter double-blind placebo-controlled protocol The intervention includes 100 mg Coenzyme Q10 nanodispersion Nanoquinon solution tid or matched placebo for three months

Participating study centers include Neurological University Outpatient Clinics and Neurological Departments of Community-based Hospitals experienced with PD patients

The primary outcome measure was the combined Unified Parkinsons Disease Rating Scale UPDRS Part II and III

The hypothesis of this study was that Coenzyme Q10 improves the energy status of the diseased dopaminergic neuronal cell type and thus producing more dopamine leading to an improvement of parkinsonian symptoms in PD patients
