  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

According to the fact that parkinsonian symptoms are related to a depletion of dopamine in the brain, many investigators have recently began to use L-DOPA, immediate precursor of dopamine and able to cross the BBB, in the treatment of parkinsonism.

The presented paper discussed about the clinical experiences with L-DOPA in the treatment ofparkinsonism on the basis of 145 cases who were admitted and treated at St. Barnabas Hospital since November 1968 to June 1969.

Generally speaking, 80. 7% of the patients had shown some improvement of the symptoms and especially such symptoms as rigidity, bradykinesia, difficulty of speech and ambulation were able to get moderate or significant improvement. On the other-hand, it did'nt appear that L-DOPA was capable of significantly relieving tremor.

The side reaction of L-DOPA included nausea, vomiting, anorexia, postural hypotension, chorea-liked abnormal movement, and psychic manifesta-tions (hallucination, agitation and depression). However, most of these symptoms were transient so that none of the patients had to discontinue the administration of L-DOPA due to side reaction ex-cept three, two of whom due to serious psychic manifestations and one due to severe abnormal movement of tongue.

Although it is too early to make a final decision of the effect of L-DOPA for parkinsonism, it seems to be promising and more advisable to use than any other antiparkinsonian drugs ever been used.
