Randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial of hydrogen inhalation for Parkinson’s disease: a pilot study

Oxidative stress is involved in the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). Recent studies have confirmed that molecular hydrogen (H) functions as a highly effective antioxidant in animal models of PD. A placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group clinical pilot study was conducted to assess the efficacy of hydrogen gas inhalation in Japanese patients with PD on treatment with levodopa.

A randomized double-blind multi-center trial of hydrogen water for Parkinson’s disease: protocol and baseline characteristics.

Our previous randomized double-blind study showed that drinking hydrogen (H2) water for 48 weeks significantly improved the total Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) score of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients treated with levodopa. We aim to confirm this result using a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled multi-center trial. Changes in the total UPDRS scores from baseline to the 8(th), 24(th), 48(th), and 72(nd) weeks, and after the 8(th) week, will be evaluated.

Pilot study of H2 therapy in Parkinson’s disease: A randomized double‐blind placebo‐controlled trial

Oxidative stress is involved in the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD). Recent studies have confirmed that molecular hydrogen (H₂) functions as a highly effective antioxidant in cultured cells and animal models. Drinking H₂-dissolved water (H₂-water) reduced oxidative stress and improved Parkinson's features in model animals.

Inhalation of hydrogen gas elevates urinary 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanine in Parkinson’s disease.

Hyposmia is one of the earliest and the most common symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD). The benefits of hydrogen water on motor deficits have been reported in animal PD models and PD patients, but the effects of hydrogen gas on PD patients have not been studied. We evaluated the effect of inhalation of hydrogen gas on olfactory function, non-motor symptoms, activities of daily living, and urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanine (8-OHdG) levels by a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover trial with an 8-week washout period in 20 patients with PD.

Role and mechanism of molecular hydrogen in the treatment of Parkinson’s diseases.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a pathology that includes the aggregation of alpha-synuclein (α-syn), oxidative stress, and neuroinflammation. While existing treatments can alleviate motor symptoms, they have limited efficacy in slowing disease progression and improving non-motor symptoms. In recent years, molecular hydrogen has been recognized for its potential neuroprotective effects, attributed to its selective antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
