  • Title: Bromocriptine in Huntington chorea.
    Author: Kartzinel R, Hunt RD, Calne DB.
    Journal: Arch Neurol; 1976 Jul; 33(7):517-8. PubMed ID: 132915.
    Abstract:
    Following a recent report that apomorphine hydrochloride alleviates the involuntary movements of Huntington chorea, we have investigated another dopamine receptor agonist, bromocriptine, in this disease. A double-blind crossover study in six patients showed that rather than improving chorea, bromocriptine induced an exacerbation. This finding supports the view that choreatic movements correlate with overactivity in dopaminergic systems.
