The PIGD group also had decreased external rotation compared to the non-PIGD group and controls (all p < 0.05). Infraspinatus muscle stiffness was higher in the PIGD group than in controls (p = 0.012).

Despite advancements in symptomatic therapies, such as dopamine replacement and deep brain stimulation, no disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) have been identified to slow or arrest neurodegeneration in PD. Challenges in DMT development include disease heterogeneity, the absence of reliable biomarkers, and the multifaceted pathophysiology of PD, encompassing neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, lysosomal impairment, and oxidative stress. Drug repositioning and repurposing strategies using existing drugs for new therapeutic applications offer a promising approach to accelerate the development of DMTs for PD. These strategies minimize time, cost, and risk by using compounds with established safety profiles. Prominent candidates include glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, ambroxol, calcium channel blockers, statins, iron-chelating agents, c-Abl inhibitors, and memantine. Although preclinical and early clinical studies have demonstrated encouraging results, numerous phase III trials have yielded unfavorable outcomes, elucidating the complexity of PD pathophysiology and the need for innovative trial designs.
