Description
Yifan Song and co-authors test a painless scan for nerve damage in Parkinson's disease, in a 2026 study. Nerve harm is common with the disease and worsens outlook, but the standard test uses needles and shocks. The team asked whether sound-based scans of nerve stiffness could do the same job.
Scans of two nerves were checked for repeat use in 30 patients, then compared across patient and healthy groups. Nerve stiffness rose step by step from healthy people to patients with nerve harm. A model that mixed age with stiffness at both nerves sorted cases well. The authors urge a larger study with age-matched groups to confirm the scan.
