Overview

Brief Summary

This is a research study investigating elevated homocysteine in the blood of patients with Parkinson's disease who are currently receiving treatment with levodopa. We are evaluating if elevated homocysteine can be corrected using open label B vitamin therapy, as well as the impact of homocysteine levels on cognitive function.
