Tóm tắt

Lisuride was investigated for therapeutic effects in 19 patients with advanced Parkinson disease, no longer satisfactorily responding to routine L-Dopa therapy. The patients were treated with oral Lisuride (0.6–2.5 mg/die) and L-Dopa. The follow-up was at least 6 months. We noted a significant improvement on the Webster Rating Scale at 1st, 3td and 6th months. Disability and on-off phenomen were reduced. Side effects were few. Lisuride is a valuable tool in this type of patient.
