  • Title: Treatment of Huntington's chorea with bromocriptine.
    Author: Frattola L, Albiazzati MG, Spano PF, Trabucchi M.
    Journal: Acta Neurol Scand; 1977 Jul; 56(1):37-45. PubMed ID: 141860.
    Abstract:
    The authors tested the effects of 2-Br-ergocriptine (bromocriptine, CB-154), a drug which exerts a mixed agonist-antagonist activity on the dopaminergic receptors, in 12 patients with Huntington Chorea in a double-blind crossover trial. This treatment significantly reduced the abnormal involuntary movements and the disease severity in most of the patients. Subjects who were slightly disabled showed a better response than the ones with more severe degrees of disability.
