[Cholinergizing treatment in hyperkinesis].
Hyperkineses are a clinical and pathogenetic counter-part of parkinsonism (MP). Their underlying cause is increased activity of the dopaminergic system or insufficiency of the cholinergic system. Treatment inhibiting the dopaminergic system, similarly as anticholinergic treatment is of little effectiveness in MP. A trial of substitutive treatment was undertaken activating the cholinergic system with a precursor of acetylcholine (dimethyl-amino-ethanol-deanol--Bimanol) with simultaneous inhibition of cholinesterase with prostigmin. The results of this treatment were compared with previously applied antidopaminergic treatment (Haloperidol) and with the effects of L-dopa. This treatment was given to 11 patients with Huntington's chorea (ChH), 4 with faciolingual dyskinesis (DFL), 3 with torticollis spasmodicus (TS), 3 with maladie des tics (MT) and 8 with dyskinesia following treatment with L-dopa (MP). Cholinergizing treatment gave better results than antidopaminergic treatment in TS and ChH, and worse in MT. In dyskinesia following L-dopa cholinergizing treatment gave also no effects reported by others. Differences in the results of cholinergizing and antidopaminergic treatment may indicate non-homogenous pathological mechanism of these hyperkineses. Cholinergizing treatment in hyperkineses is based on a similar principle as L-dopa treatment in MP and this approach seems to be proper but more effective preparations should be sought for.
