In two cases has been tested Bromocriptine, in three cases Bromocriptine with l-dopa, in three cases Piribedil with l-dopa, in four cases Haloperidol with l-dopa. Positive results of temporary term are obtained only with the association Piribedil plus l-dopa and in one case with the association Haloperidol plus l-dopa.
