  • Title: Droxidopa reduces postural sway in Parkinson disease patients with orthostatic hypotension.
    Author: Marsili L, Duque KR, Sturchio A, Sobrero G, Premoli I, Dwivedi AK, Espay AJ, Merola A.
    Journal: Parkinsonism Relat Disord; 2022 Jun; 99():62-64. PubMed ID: 35605513.
    Abstract:
    We evaluate the effect of droxidopa on gait and balance measures in nine patients with Parkinson's disease and neurogenic orthostatic hypotension. Computerized gait/balance analysis showed a significant effect of droxidopa in reducing postural sway. Future studies may determine if such effect translates into improvement in postural reflexes and falls.
