Clinical evaluation and pharmacological treatment of Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome and other hyperkinesias
Acta Neurol Scand Suppl.
1992.
Abstract
The clinical evaluation and pharmacological treatment of Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome (TS) and other hyperkinesias in Hvidovre Hospital is reviewed. Pimozide still seems to be the most effective single drug in the treatment of Tourette symptoms. Anticholinergics most often in combination with one or two other drugs are still the most effective drug in the treatment of dystonia. Clozapine is an effective alternative in the treatment of tremor.
