agree  Dr. Andrew Frankland: Possibly add "to date" at the end?
2 hrs
  -> Thanks, Andrew - I specifically left it out as I presume the following text will go into further detail and mention this fact.
agree  ormiston: agree with peers.To be snappier you could say Parkinson patients/sufferers
3 hrs
  -> Cheers, Ormiston
agree  Alejandro Alcaraz Sintes: Es un título y tu propuesta es la más acertada: concisa, con cifras, sin verbo "conjugado". Bien.
