title: [Clinical study on the treatment of dyskinesia by L-stepholidine].
abstract: 134 cases of dyskinesia caused by various CNS diseases were treated with a new type of DA blocker L-Stepholidine (1-SPD). Good response was obtained in 72% (29/40) of L-dopa induced abnormal involuntary movements in Parkinson disease, 79% (34/43) of Tourette syndrome, and 65% (15/23) of tardive dyskinesia through a short-term follow-up. No serious side effects were found within the therapeutic dosage of 50-225mg/day The results showed that L-SPD is a new type of anti-dyskinesia agent deserving further pharmacological investigation.
