Evidence before hype Ibogaine is being discussed in Parkinson's disease because of early mechanistic findings, not because it has been established as a therapy. A statement of scope Early signals are not clinical proof. Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease primarily affecting dopamine-producing neurons in the substantia nigra. Existing care can improve symptoms, but researchers continue to seek approaches that might alter disease progression. Ibogaine is a high-risk, experimental psychoactive compound. Its therapeutic potential in neurological disorders is scientifically interesting, yet current research does not establish it as a potential treatment for Parkinson's disease. Interest in a mechanism is not evidence of benefit, and anecdotal improvement is not a substitute for controlled clinical trials. D Independent Evidence first Safety aware Three considerations Understanding Parkinson's disease Parkinson's disease involves the loss of dopamine-producing cells, particularly in the substantia nigra. The exact cause remains unknown, although genetic and environmental factors are believed to contribute to this neurodegenerative disease. I Motor changes Common motor symptoms include tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia, or slowness of movement, and postural instability. These parkinsonian symptoms can change gradually and affect daily independence. Levodopa, also called L-dopa, remains a central symptomatic treatment, while deep brain stimulation can be considered for some people. Neither approach proves that disease progression has been stopped. II Beyond movement Non-motor symptoms can include cognitive impairment, sleep disorders, depre
