Clinical Aspects and Management of Levodopa-Induced Dyskinesia

چکیده
In Parkinson's disease, one of the most troublesome dilemmas is the treatment of levodopa-induced dyskinesia. After a few years, chronic treatment with levodopa is associated with the development of dyskinesias. Strategies to delay or to reduce dyskinesias are based on the change of levodopa dosing or the early use of dopamine agonists. Dopamine agonists with different pharmacological profile are available. Our paper was aimed to analyse the clinical impact and the management of dyskinesias with dopamine agonists.

Diabetes Increases the Incidence of Levodopa-Induced Dyskinesia in Parkinson’s Disease; A Case-Control Study
Background and Objective: Dyskinesia is a debilitating complication of Parkinsonchr('39')s disease (PD), which appears due to some known risk factors. The effect of diabetes and high plasma glucose on the manifestation of dyskinesia has been evaluated in just a few previous reports. The current study aimed to assess the mentioned correlation. Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, ...
متن کاملDissimilar mechanistic background of peripheral and orofacial hyperkinesia in patients with Parkinson’s disease and levodopa-induced dyskinesia
Introduction: Long-term levodopa treatment of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is frequently complicated by spontaneously occurring involuntary muscle movements called dyskinesia. The exact pathological mechanism of this complication has not yet been elucidated. We have previously demonstrated that in PD patients the vulnerability to develop peripheral but not orofacial dyskinesia is associated w...
متن کاملLevodopa-induced Dyskinesias and Their Management N Epidemiology
Following a period of stable response to dopaminergic medication (the “honeymoon” period), Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients gradually develop two progressive clinical phenomena requiring changes in the clinical management: motor fluctuations and dyskinesias. These two phenomena are intrinsically interconnected, but often require opposite treatment attitudes, because increases of dopaminergic t...
متن کاملMetabolic changes induced by theta burst stimulation of the cerebellum in dyskinetic Parkinson's disease patients.
BACKGROUND Cerebellar repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation may be effective in reducing peak-dose levodopa induced dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease patients. It was proposed that the antidyskinetic effect could be due to modulation of cerebello-thalamo-cortical pathways. However the neural basis for these clinical effects have not yet been demonstrated. METHODS We investigated the ef...
