Effects of Lingzhi on Disease Progression in Patients With Untreated Early Parkinson's Disease

Summary

Lingzhi(Ganoderma) is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine. Previous studies indicated that Lingzhi was safe, well tolorated, and improved symptoms as an add-on therapy to levodopa in early Parkinson's disease(PD) patients. Here the investigators design a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, delayed-start trial to evaluate the effects of Lingzhi on modifying disease progression in untreated PD patients.
